Theatrical Adaptation

One acts JULIA

I thought you gave a lot of good examples of the “V effect” the breaking of fourth wall put things out of order and you are right on your observation this confusion has a purpose. However I don’t know if it is meant to provide an emotional roller coaster. How would you support this. I think the effect changes your emotions some times but more importantly it makes you think so I would argue your comment “if it were altered in a way where everything is straight forward and the audience doesn’t have to think about anything it wouldn’t have the same effect was closer to the point. How does the V effect change emotions by making people sympathize with those they might otherwise condemn and never sympathize with out of shock and fear like Uncle peck or an A.I.D.S victim or by making us laugh where we’d normally cry? Elaborate.
