Entry 7

Drama today consisted of improving our play with Mrs Burleys ideas. We ran through our play and began to alter bits and pieces. I suggested to the group that we would have the play slowly progress from happy to scary. We put this into the play by having a sweet (but secretly evil) grandma at the start telling me to go to the door. We would then have Bronte, the artistic girl blowing bubbles, appear happy but has a harsh and mean voice. I would the move on to Ariana and she would be a completely scary monster. Through all of this Brittanee would be following me creeping me out. During the next few lessons after this we began the detail. I again suggested that we should have the characters on the veranda at the start discussing what they are going to do and who they are, oblivious of the audience, so the audience has a slight idea of what is to come. Someone also decided that some of the characters would start under then bed and some in the curtains. We have also centred all of the mini-plays around the floor space.
