Today, in class we were given our scripts for the up and coming play we are going to be performing. My group got given East End Tales 4. We read through our scene and started to put our scenes together, having a different narrator for each stanza.
The things that I like about our scene and working on this project is that the tales are written with a rhythmic pattern, all the stanzas have a beat to it and I like this because I love music. The play has a beat which makes it a different and unique way to perform a play. Not many plays have a script written out like this, most plays just write a story with no rhythm but this play has a rhythm which can also express music and dance as well as theatre. I also like working on East End Tales because you get to work with the cockney accent. I was born in East London in Whitechapel and I like the idea or performing something from where I was born because I can find out more information about my birthplace as I only lived there for a few years.

At the moment I don’t really have any reasons to dislike this
project because we have only just started working on it. I think I will need a
week or two to decide if I am enjoying this project or not. Currently I am, and
I am finding it very interesting to work with. I am looking forward to the
future lessons to discover more about the play as well as about the East End.
I think this play is going to be challenging to perform
because it isn’t only lines you have to remember, it is about remembering the
beat and the timing of your lines as well. For next week, my group and I are
going to focus on creating and developing our scenes to create an atmosphere of
the East End. I will also be working on my tone of voice to make sure that when
I say my rhythmic lines they sound like I am from The East End.
