So a week before our show and we decide to change the ending! It's great! Again not trying to give too much away but it's completely different to the original ending but as we all agreed, alot better. So this is now blocked and learnt to the same standard as the rest of the play. We also acted each scene in a kind of 'Fast Mode', super-speed, to see where more energy worked, it also helped us with our clarity and volume as we where talking so fast but still had to get every word across.
I had a few more ideas for my character too. Like perhaps he has a stutter as he is quite nervous or constantly itches somewhere like his neck when he feels pressured etc. Not sure if they work or not yet though but I'm going to keep on working on them and other ideas and see what works and what doesn't.
I'm also in charge of our lighting and sound, I forgot to mention in my last post. Lighting wise; as the play is set in a living room our lighting is going to be very simple, white wash, maybe slightly dimmed, and a couple of lamps on stage. Sound wise; the play is set in the 50's so we are thinking entering music perhaps Frank Sinatra, which will change once the play is ready to start to something that will play throughout the performance in the background, and then similar music to the entering music to be played for the audience to exit.
Until we meet again...James
