Reading and interpreting short plays
Have you ever considered becoming a playwright (dramaturgo(a))? If the answer
is yes, there are many things you will need in order to be successful, aside from a
winning script (guión) and a great play theme (tema de la obra). Let´s look at the
steps you could follow to stage a play.
1.
After you finish writing your winning play (obra de teatro), with an ending twist
that could be ironic (irónico), you will have to select the actors who will play the
characters in your story. You will want to choose a group of actors with qualities
that make them unique (singulares). Hopefully the actors’ gestures (gestos) will
embody each character perfectly, from a villain who is greedy (codicioso) and
miserly (avaro) to a friend who may turn out to be a fraud (farsante).
2.
It is important to realize (darse cuenta de que) even though many people like
to dream about (soñar con) becoming a famous director, to direct (dirigir) is
no easy task. You will have to come up with stage directions (direcciones de
escenografía), maybe create scenery (la escenografia), make sure the dialog
(diálogo) is clear, and spend a lot of time rehearsing (ensayando) on the stage
(el escenario).
3.
But don´t worry, you will have plenty of company while you do your work. You
will probably be working with the designer of the wardrobe (el vestuario) and
others who will make sure all the accessories (accesorios) are in place. It will be
your job to demand (reclamar) that everyone is ready when it is time to raise the
curtain (levantar el telón).
4.
Finally, the day of the opening, you will need the help of an usher (un
acomodador), to help people at the entrance and the exit (salida), as well as to
have someone to serve refreshments during intermission (el intermedio).
Remember, it takes quite a bit of courage (coraje), an attitude that is persistent
(persistente), and a lot of hard work to put a play together. But when you hear the
audience clap (aplaudir), it will all have been worth the effort! At the end of a
successful play, the curtain comes down! (¡se baja el telón!)
