Second Draft Scene Plan

Have you got the time please?
Have you got the time please?
Yes it 3.30pm
Exactly?
3.33pm to be precise
Thank you
Your welcome, I really like your ring
My ‘ex’ gave me it, (throws ring on the floor) that sick twisted pathetic little man.
Oh sorry I didnt mean to bring that up
He walks around like he is Gods gift to women, he smokes he drinks he cheats and lies.
I bet your really fed up, if i was you I would have killed him by now.
Imagine the long parade to the grave yard, the funeral on Tuesday the 13th of may.
Funerals are quiet with pretty flowers and Oh, what gorgeous boxes they pack them away in.
Then as we move inside the church his family are crying and wailing. what happiness this brings to me.
The grandaughter all innocent to her familys tainted past.
I’m wearing my bruises with pride, I took the blows to my face and my body and anywhere else he could get his hands on.
Then you would smile as his family take a pause of respect and you let out a small chuckle. (Lauren chuckle)
Now for the burial
They lower his box to the ground you revel in the silence that you’ve finally achieved. Oh how sweet that silence is
(Ashes to ashes. dust to dust ... etc)
How did you achieve the silence, rat poison? Smother? Knife in the back? A gunshot to the head? A slow death? Fast death? Easy death? Planned death? Drowning? Burn him disfigure his face
GRAB MATTS FACE! Eye contact for planned time

Devising our performance

Today Me and Matt rehearsed a few scenes we had created to see how well the worked together.
We then decided on our characters personalitys.
Male - Dominant, manipulative, twisted and powerful

Female- Easily lead, Hurt and looking for someone to talk to

By the end of the whole performance our Characters completely swap roles, the female becomes more powerful and twisted. The male falls in love with her and this is how the females manages to gain all her control!








First Draft!!!!

Set design

Stimuli

Hi, Matt and I are the only people within our drama class we used to be a cast of 9 .... now we are down to 2! :( but hey! were going to make the best of our year 13 alevel and here is the different stages we are going through to achieve an A .... A*

For our first piece!



This stimulus we have been givin is: Love.

Me and matt have interperted this in different ways. Firstly I reserched things I had seen on the news. The first thing that came up was ' The moors murders' a quote which Ian Brady had said really caught my eye "Everything I did was to impress her".
This line then made us think about a twisted love not for someone but for something they desire and share a love for.

The shared love then became of high focus. This shared love was not for any of the characters to experiance with eachother but for the same thing they loved which in our performance is 'Death' However each character is stiriving for something out of this. From the males point of view he is being able to control the women by manipulating her into killing her 'Ex'. The female is simply trying to get free from the control when what she does not realise that she is getting herself lost into a vicious cycle.
