Comparing and Contrasting 'Mugged' and 'Warhorse.'
The practical work I will discuss was for Option Two: 'Acting'. We performed a play called 'Mugged', by Andrew Pane and also went to see 'Warhorse', by Michael Morpurgo at the National Theatre. 'Mugged' is about a group of teenagers who face the same dilemma each day: taking a shortcut to school, but having to face a gang of muggers. Eventually one of the kids is stabbed to death for trying to retrieve a friend's mobile phone. On the other hand, Warhorse is about a horse (Joey), who's very dear to young Albert, at the outbreak of World War One, and is sold to the cavalry and therefore shipped to France. After a very long period of time and struggle, Albert finally manages to find Joey. My contribution to the performance of 'Mugged' was as an actor. I played the role of Taylor who is meant to be bigger, better dressed and full of himself.
