Stephanie Orford at this point was walking slowing, carefully and cautiously with a curious and
shocked look on her face, and she did this to create a suspense in the audience and to keep them
watching, for they would wonder what was there too. For instance, when they were in the church
there was a cross projected on the gauze and when Mr. Kipps went to Mrs Drablow’s house there
was a picture of an old looking, creepy mansion projected on the gauze. Speaking in queens English
often suggests intelligence and haughtiness, whilst a broad Yorkshire accent suggests the reverse.
The simplicity of the set worked amazingly and only used about 20 props throughout the whole play.
Red would have also been good to show these emotions, but the performance would have been more
interesting with a range of colours. One day Jennets son was on a pony and trap going along the
causeway, and it got lost and sunk into the marshes, which killed everybody on it. This would calm
the audience down, and make their tension go even higher when we started the banging again, for
the white spot light would make them think there was nothing there. It also helped me understand
that you do not know what it feels like to lose a child until you have been through it yourself, and
that you should never take anyone elses child as your own, for revenge will happen later on. My part
in my performance also helped me understand that Jennet Humphry did not have a very fair life, and
had to pretend to be someone else. It also helped me to understand that it must have been a really
horrible experience for the woman in black when she was isolated from her one and only child, and
how she felt like nobody else should have the chance to settle down with a happy family, because
she never got the chance to. The sound effect of the horse and carriage and the scream was used as a
really good motif, more so it made the audience scream themselves hearing the screams in the sound
track than the actual acting. When we were first introduced to the stage setting all we saw were
drapes hanging at the back, which were later to be turned into gauze to help portray the later more
frightening scenes in the house. This bundle contains 7 fantastic comprehension activity booklets -

black appears the lighting is effectively used to only light her face, this is done well because it
creates mystery as we don’t see the woman’s whole body just her deformed face. For the Actor,
differentiation between the characters he was playing to the audience was vital. We used a still
orange light when Stephanie Orford saw me on the rocking chair, to create a creepy and eerie
atmosphere in the audience and to create tension. It also helped me to understand that it must have
been a really horrible experience for the woman in black when she was isolated from her one and
only child, and how she felt like nobody else should have the chance to settle down with a happy
family, because she never got the chance to. This man went to a theatre and asked for help in telling
this story. It also helped us to understand it is very important for the narrator to project their voice
well, or the audience would not hear them, and this could stop them from understanding the story
properly. We chose the worst story, and got together with another pair, Sophie Moore and Stephanie
Orford to act the story out. When we performed it on stage to everyone, we sat round in a circle, but
made sure our backs were not facing the audience. This was also used with light to create the elution
of the train going through a tunnel. For the banging on the door, we decided to use a Red spot light,
which started to flash on and off, to the rhythm of the banging on the door. We did not actually
perform this to everyone, because we did not really sort different roles properly. I went behind the
curtains, and I had to make sure my timing was right, so I knew when to scream. The audience could
hear the woman in black on the rocking chair coming from the other side of the door, which made a
knocking noise on the floor. The only props on the stage were a large basket, a hat stand, a clothes
rail and a chair (later on in the play a door was introduced). The few words he did speak were in a
gruff and haggard voice. Paul Chapman plays the recent Arthur Kipps in the very beginning of the
play; he actually goes through the trauma. Its atmosphere was well placed, with the right mix of
suspense, mystery and terror created by the horror filled screams, eerie music and frightening
narration.

resources contain six one hour drama workshops each. By the end of the performance it fulfilled its
aim to scare the audience I felt uneasy and the story felt believable because of the personal way in
which the story was told, in first person. This melodic tune was twisted, warped and perverted into
something extremely sinister. Toward s the end of the play the main character encounters a messy
room, the mess of the room scares the audience but the creepy music that is played triggers fear into
the audience because there is no reason for the music to be playing in the uninhibited room. I felt
that the frightening scenes were in the house when the actor could hear noises and also saw the
woman in black. We did not actually perform this to everyone, because we did not really sort
different roles properly. Lighting was used most effectively to ascertain the atmosphere throughout.
The story was very unpredictable and at moments surprised you, when you least expexted it. The
sound effect of the horse and carriage and the scream was used as a really good motif, more so it
made the audience scream themselves hearing the screams in the sound track than the actual acting.
Hills present the death of the children so that the reader can digest and feel the same as the parent of
the child. An example of this would be right at the beginning when Mr. Kipps trips over some metal
buckets when he is walking backwards. The woman appeared out of the darkness of the back of the
audience when we first saw her. This was accomplished by the clever use of lighting, sound and
waves of tension which were established. We then all stood in a line in front of Stephanie Orford
and all bent down closer towards him. Tes classic free licence Reviews Select overall rating (no

clearly, I thought this was excellent and a credit to their acting abilities. An important she narrated
was when I took on the role of Stella. This was effective in the play, because it helped the audience
understand how alone Mr Kipps felt at Eel Marsh house, and how much of a comfort Keckwick was
to him. The colour black represents doom and emptiness, which relates to how the woman in blacks
life was a tradejy, and how her sons life was doomed. It also helped me to understand the play,
because it helped me see how worried and scared Arthur Kipps must have been when his child and
wife died. There is one abundant sound through out the play, the creaking of some sort, it is revealed
as a chair in a child’s play room. When they wanted to change characters they simply took clothes off
the clothes rail, this was a very quick and swift way to change characters and was very effective,
because it kept our minds constantly on the play as the action was constantly on stage. Live
performance theatre review Unit 3: The Woman in Black. The role play helped Stephanie Orford to
understand emotions of Mr Kipps, and it helped us to understand why the woman in black was
haunting him. The woman in black’s robe hid most of her, allowing and helping us to imagine our
own ghostly image from the haunting descriptions and actions given through the play. When the
door opened, I think we should have had a long, loud scream to represent the haunting of the woman
in black and the death of Stella and her child on the pony and trap, for this would make the audience
really scared and shocked. One day Jennets son was on a pony and trap going along the causeway,
and it got lost and sunk into the marshes, which killed everybody on it. The audience could hear the
woman in black on the rocking chair coming from the other side of the door, which made a knocking
noise on the floor. So we thought this was an important scene to perform. Everything looks as if the
play is finally going to have some sort of happy ending until we see the room again and everything
as been turned up side down with only the small jewellery box playing.
The story sees young lawyer Arthur Kipps being sent to the funeral of his client Mrs Alice Drablow.
It also sent a message to the audience, which was a warning to the actor for him not to go through
that door. And the horse and cart sound struck fear because it was all that you could hear in the dark
blackout. The scenic design was minimal but very well used as if the stage had been crowded with
props it would have taking your mind from wandering through your imagination, the props they
used were just boxes and coats and chairs except for the nursery scene with the cupboard and the cot
and the rocking chair which, for the graveyard scene, was just covered over with dusty sheets to look
like gravestones which I thought worked very well. This was a significant piece of text because it’s
allowed the audience to find out who the woman in black was and why she haunted the house. I
rocked myself from side to side to represent moving. It was used to create a dramatic effect, which
also fitted the descriptions and stories in the play. Each lesson loosely follows this logical learning
journey to ensure that students learn in bite-size steps. The first was the starting point of the play, a
front level which was altered by the actors to accommodate parts of the tale. I stepped up on the
stageblock, and sat on one of the chairs which represented the pony and trap. Because the light was
not completely dark, it was really good for showing Mr Kipps thoughts and emotions as he read the
letters, and finally found out the background to the woman in black. The writer offers some details
regarding the woman in black whilst avoiding spoilers which is also a commendable feature in the
response. What I mean by this is that the real Mr Kipps plays every character but himself and the
actor retells Mr Kipps’s story. Write a review Update existing review Submit review Cancel It's good
to leave some feedback. The blackouts also acted as a cover which meant that the actors could creep
onto stage unnoticed before making the intended sudden appearance. Even though this occurs I still
feel that the storyline is presented in a way that can still be followed. This helped the actors as it
made the audience more aware of what was going on and had tension building. At the start the old
Mr Kipps was interpreted very well and the young actor who plays the young Mr Kipps really
portrayed the likeness in the old Mr Kipps when re-enacting the story. Everytime Keckwick arrives at
Eel Marsh house on his pony and trap, Mr Kipps is terrified for he thinks it is the haunted noise he
keeps on hearing. As she entered the audience could almost feel the fear inside Mr Kipps which
created an excellent disturbing atmosphere. Even though I was at a distance, I still felt terrified. This
technique deepened the audiences and narrators understanding of a certain characters role, and helps
them to understand the play as a whole. He goes to the fair one day with his wife, Stella and his
child, and the wife and child decide to get on the pony and trap. So we thought this was an
important scene to perform. We were in the drama studio, and were gathered around a small paper
fire lit up orange. I used a black scarf, and rolled it up to the shape of a baby. The two actors
managed to play several different roles convincingly. This was an excellent idea which was
brilliantly executed throughout the play, without being used to the excess so it would still be
poignant in our minds. We never get told who plays the part of the woman in black; this makes the
story seem more real as the characters never find out her true identity.
