london's calling -:passport to europe:-

my blog title seems weird but it is my nightwish for tonight. i cant help myself from being lazy. however, taking this course for this semester requires me to be patient and smart. in what sense huh?? i suppose, i should be a critical reader because drama is not easy to understand. a careful reading is necessary especially the old play. well.. it doesn't mean i hate the ancient play, but the language makes me stay away from it. it is hard to be understood. i rather choose the modern play and so far i found it is very easy. although sometimes it has so many literary meanings likes the play "The Ring" by "Vincent Malachi", it is still quite easy compared to Shakespeare's plays. I'm sorry Dr. Edwin for giving this comment but it is true. maybe..maybe i am the only one who will say so but there are other people who will speak it out when it comes to old plays. Am I right this time???

guess??!!

I have never been to any theatres or drama. I mean a “real” drama such as in Istana Budaya in Kuala Lumpur or Globe Theatre in London. How I wish I could be there even once to get the feelings of watching the real play like Macbeth.

I did participate in national Drama Fest but it was a small event for me. However, it made me to be more interested in drama even though I do not really know how to act and frankly speaking, I never get the main character. That was not a big matter for me as I know who I am. To be more disappointing, I have lack of confidence especially while on the stage. I could not control myself from being nervous. Argghh!!

For my surprise, I have to learn drama this semester. Sooner or later, I need to love drama with all my heart in order to understand this subject (Really?). In the first class, we looked at the overview of the history of theatre or drama which origins from Greek and after that about modern drama. How shall I say about drama? I just got to know about the history of theatre and the types of drama. What a shame??! By right, I do not much about it and thus, I will learn more in future. Believe me!!
