Re: synoposis of shoe horn sonata
You think The Shoe-Horn Sonata a 'crap' play? Could you write a play any better? The Shoe-Horn Sonata uses techniques similar to Brecht's Notion of 'epic theatre' and is an effective 'two-hander'...How can you possibley say the play is 'crap'? Do you know anything about it? Do some research before you make sweeping generalisations. Im studying the play for HSC, and even though it isnt the most exciting play, it still contains worth as a text. I have HEAPS of information if you want to email me, i will send it to you. Cheers...

THE SHOE-HORN SONATA:
Analytical Essay
* Misto's play is a complex dramatic unveiling of a monument to the women whose cause he is championing. How does Misto make use of dramatic devices to achieve this?
* The Shoe-Horn Sonata is piece of chamber theatre that demonstrates the importance of personal loyalty and love. Is this all there is to the play?
* '... the victims of history's worst - and least known massacre'. To what extent is this a description of the issue underpinning this play?
* 'They are simply forgotten.' To what extent is this a play about remembering and forgetting?
* 'This play is John Misto's monument to the Australian Army Nurses and to all those women and children who have suffered in war.' How does Misto create his monument?
Synopsis of the Play
The play is a two-acter and is effectively also a two-hander. The audience does hear the voice of the third character - Rick, the television interviewer - but he is never seen on stage. A number of off-stage characters are also referred to throughout the play and the images of historical 'characters' are projected during the performance establishing the wider world of the play.
The main action of the play is set in 1995, but we are also projected back in time to the events of the fall of Singapore and the subsequent 'rescue' by the Japanese and incarceration in prisoner-of-war camps. The scenes in the present take place in a TV studio, in the motel/hotel rooms in which they are staying during the filming of the documentary about their wartime experiences and in a neutral space somewhere within the studio. Importantly the scenes also take us to various 'real' places during the war including Singapore and Belalau via the projected visual and sound images.
At one level this is the story about the meeting of two female POW survivors, Bridie Cartwright and Sheila Richards for the first time since the end of the war fifty years previously. The two women had been evacuated from Singapore and had endured together the pain and suffering of war. The play focuses on the re-establishment of their relationship. We observe not only their reunion but their reconciliation.
Their story is told in a complex theatrical form that alerts the audience to the fact that this is not a simple narrative. The story unravels as the truths and untruths of the past are revealed. While on the one hand the focus is on the personal truths and lies, these are seen to be part of a much bigger issue: the construction of public accounts of past events. We see the way in which such public accounts obfuscate and conceal, and we see the effects of such obfuscation on individuals - 'keep smiling'!
hope this helps “im also studying the shoe-horn sonata for my hsc”
