You cannot rewind it, just like an act of life and is closely related to us making the face to face experience real and extraordinary,” said Mulvogue. “Theatre is writing in invisible ink, in the moment. She said that the beauty of the play is that it transcends university walls, as it examines themes that are approachable from any stage of life and in any setting. With plays like The Shape of Things and its university setting, young people can come to appreciate theatre. What makes theatre unique is that nothing comes between it and the audience, like in cinema where the director chooses what to show you through the camera. Lightburn agrees that theatre has never been as threatened as now with cinema and home entertainment, but believes that it will always be around because we are performance creatures. “We will confront everyone with as much art as possible and ask the question what is art? And is there a boundary between art and morality? At the same time, who’s to say what’s art? It also raises issues about subjective art censorship,” said Lightburn.

Lightburn promises visual presentation that will make the audience feel they’re part of the play. But she also liberates others in the process, and they all change before the end of the play. My character and Evelyn are disliked and they tend to make statements the wrong way even though they’re intelligent,” said BlyĮvelyn, who also makes statements through art, is a complicated character. “Philip is obnoxious, makes rational decisions, but gives the best advice to Adam. What is cool? Is it the media’s stereotype that detects how we should be or do we choose? The play pokes fun of things that the media reinforces in terms of what is cool and on how much value we put on perfection” said Mulvogue. “We look at our peers and judge them as not cool. It’s about relationship expectations and people can relate to it,” said Laczay. “When he becomes aware of the changes, he also starts making decisions the way his friends now perceive him, the decisions that he wouldn’t have made before. But when they realize how dominant Evelyn is, they start fearing for the loss of his personality. In the play, my character is an artist who’s overbearing, making Adam uneasy, she represents a society that strives for perfection with pressure from billboards and magazines,”said Young.Īdam’s friends notice he’s changing, and they believe it’s for the better. ” I think women are the ones who are confronted in a much more consistent basis and being judged aesthetically. She transforms him, improving a nerdy guy to a more exciting, appealing, and desirable man, so he’s sort of a social complimentary. The character Evelyn sets on a mission to change Adam, her boyfriend. And when they ended the scene, the director congratulated them on their performance before pointing out what they had to work on. Watching the cast of The Shape of Things rehearse, I saw energy surrounding these young people. The script by Neil Labute, and directed by Kyra Lightburn, has Ferelith Young as Evelyn, Scott Laczay is Adam, Jessica Mulvogue plays Jenny, and David Bly plays Philip. The cast of four, all students of McGill university in their early ’20s, will leave you with questions on art, morality, and relationships. We all love classic plays that have endured the test of time, but it’s refreshing to see a play that we can relate to in our time, and The Shape of Things feels like it.
