Theatre Review - Company

This play needed some kind of unity and clarity by creating a repetition action triggering the next rather than standing alone without an association to what came before it or what comes next. Producing a plot structure that the audience is able to understand is a crucial part in the "world of the play." This play does not successfully create an effective plot structure because the play was not in chronological order and there were no consistent repetitions through out the play that notified the audience if the scene took place in the present or the past. Failure to create an effective plot structure the audience can make sense of affects the way the audience conveys the central idea of the play.
             The characters' costumes and the events in the play were not parallel in which they needed a wider variety of costumes to change into to go with the scene in which they acted. They changed the scenery often, but the characters remained in the same costume the whole time, which made it harder to grasp the main concept of the play. For example, in Amy and Paul's wedding scene, they wore the same outfits they had on throughout the whole play. Their costumes failed to tie in with the event because Amy should have been wearing a wedding dress with a veil instead of her blue dress with a veil, and Paul wore the same outfit he wore in all of the other scenes and added a Yakama to show that he was Jewish. In this scene their costume did not tie in with what was happening because Amy's wedding veil never came off even though she told Paul she was not going to marry him. Amy should have worn a wedding dress in that scene to help the audience fully understand what was happening. Marta's costume is one example of how the character's costume and the character did not correlate. Marta is one of Bobby's past girlfriends who is a little on the wild side and loves the city life in New York. In this production of Company, Marta is wearing a plaid skirt and a leather top.
