Preparing for the big push
Our last few renditions of our scenes have definitely highlighted the aspects of the production about its strengths and weaknesses, i have certainly observed that just over the last few days that certain choices by the actors and tweeking by karla have thoroughly improved the fluidity and entertainment in terms of the watching it. Because my character does not apper until half way through scene one i have had a good oppurtuniy to watch the other characters, i have particularly enjoyed much more recently the relationships between ed and toby aswell as guy and dims in the beggining parts of the play. I feel that the anger in toby coneyed by mr warner now has much more purpose and is more understanderble to the audience, this is also due to the frivolous attitude of ed which is being played convincely by katie. The tension between guy and dims is becoming more prominant which is very relevant to the realationships between the charaters in the latter stages of the play. Ibrahim is making slightly more subtle choices which paying off for harry charater which adding a better level of humour between these beggining parts of the show. I can see that nathan is in his element with alistair and displaying very good sinister streak especially in scene three which is crucial that the play shows how dog eat dog this world actually is. Chris's physicalities and mannerisms are very convincing as a landlord, this allows to show great contrast between the greatly competative nature of the riot members. Hugo of recent has made a small transcition that has developed into a character that is as cool as a fan and very is easy on the eye, this is because of the subtleties of nico that are oozing out of his demeanour. george is showing a good level of consistancy of displaying being intoxicated and enthuiastic at the same time. Aisling has had one of the toughest tasks to take playing three characters and is pulling of three very different personalities extremely well while remaining to keep the flair and compelling us at the same time. It has had its ups and downs but i can honestly say its been a brilliant experience so far and we all need to keep at it in and out of rehearsal to ensure that we produce something that we are proud of.
