Week 3
Discussion
Theater
This week, we took a brief look at Shakespeare’s The Tempest
(see the Assignments section). This five-act play opens with a storm at sea (a
tempest) and throughout, Shakespeare has planted allusions to apparitions and
magic, such as the character Ariel who, at times, appears to be invisible to
the other characters. It is a given that the special effects, such as those
often used in films, to actually give the stage the appearance of a deadly
tempest or actually make Ariel an invisible presence are not achievable on the
stage. To fill in this gap, audiences suspend disbelief.
In this thread, let’s discuss the power and limitations of
theatrical imagination. Please feel free to draw from productions you have
seen. (The old high school productions count, too!) Why are we willing to
suspend disbelief when we see a play, yet we demand so much more from a film production?
Do you think that the limitation on special effects and alternative demand on
the audience member to suspend disbelief is a weakness or a strength of the
theatrical experience? Would you rather see The Tempest on stage or in film?
Why?
