Writing

Description

  1. Write a short paragraph synopsis of the play. (between 2 -5 sentences is plenty)
  2. Write 2-3 paragraphs about the production values (lighting, sound, set and costume design, acting skills, overall production etc.) of the show. Offer constructive observations about what you liked and/or disliked about the production - make sure you give details of why you have your opinion e.g. I enjoyed the lighting effects especially during the opening of the production, when two spot lights drew my attention immediately to the two actors on stage. This helped me to know where to turn my focus, and also gave the characters a sense of isolation, setting up their overall struggle through the play.

Bone bridge summary: BOSNIA, 1990s: A charismatic leader excites his followers with myths and fantasies of their past greatness, and promises that they will be great again when they take their country back. They must rid themselves of the Muslims who, he avers with no evidence, are establishing an Islamic republic, and who just don't belong in the land. This rhetoric leads to the worse genocide since the Nazi-perpetrated slaughter. Trina Davies' play, by turns searing and morbidly funny, tells how a handful of Bosnians, victims and perpetrators alike, try to mend their lives in the aftermath of the genocide and associated atrocities. What happens when two Bosnians, taking refuge years later in Canada, spot a concentration camp guard and torturer in the line at Home Depot? What happens when a Muslim judge, having spent terrible years in a concentration camp, makes her weary way home to discover that one of her former secretaries is now living in her apartment? How would you like to have tea served to you on your own grandmother’s tea set by an intruder who has, in your forced absence, moved into your home? The play invites us to ponder whether it is possible to mend broken cups, broken bridges, and broken lives.

This play tries to bring into our attention how some Bosnians try to reconcile and mend
their lives. The play invites us to see whether a Muslim judge and one of her former secretaries
whom she found living at her apartment after making her way home would reconcile. Is the
reconciliation going to be possible?
Actually, I was wowed by the lighting of the stage as it is really bringing the story to life.
My attention was captured by the colored lighting once the show was open, it enhanced my
moods that I had even started foreshadowing on what the play was all about. The scene was for
sure very enjoying and attractive, and with that, everyone seemed very curious to watch the play
and see what would fin...
