As I like it.

First of all I really love this play. Even though the setting is centuries before but this play really excite me. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and the way all the actors play their part amaze me as it seem so real. Orlando represents the warrior who is in love with a maiden Roselyn. Moreover, some part of this play tickles our sense of humour.Hehe! The end of this play touches us as all of them found their soul mate and family members. What a happy ending.

Pygmalion

Before watching the drama Pygmalion, I have read the book before. Between the book and the drama, the book was more explicit. Some of the scenes in the book were not included in the drama. However, even some of the scene in the book are not included it does not change the plot. The thing that really gets my attention is the actor were almost exactly the same, the physical appearance for example the hair, height just like what I have read before. The actor utterances were also the same. Among the drama that I have watched before Pygmalion is my favourite.

Hail to MacBeth.

This drama MacBeth is from Shakespeare is about a king who will do anything to gain power. In this drama the king who will do anything for power. In this drama the king seem to be addicted to the power that he had. This drama also shows how cruel the king was. The cruelty of the king shows when he killed innocent people without any reason. What the three witches tell the king comes to reality and he cannot control the power that he had. For wealth and power the king will do anything. Angry to what the king did to his family MacBeth seeks for his revenge for the blood of his family. Finally MacBeth killed the king and overruled his country.

Wallah

Before watching the drama Wallah, my expectations are this drama must be in black and white, it is a Shakespearian way of acting and the costumes are different. However, what I have expected was wrong. This drama is hard to understand at first but then as it played I began to understand it. Although the drama is not very Shakespearian at all the director de includes some act from Shakespearian drama. Some parts of this drama were funny and all of us were laughing while watching it. At the end what we expected to happen were turn the other way. The girl left the man.
