We took a number of ideas of a man called Stanislavski!  I also think that if I had made a bit more effort with helping to devise the play, then I think that I would have a better understanding of my character, which would have helped me play as if I were that person and also the understanding of the other characters in the play. I thought my stance at the end of the play where all the other characters are lying on the floor and me standing over them gives me a powerful stance.

We all came up with the idea that too show the audience that time was slowly moving on, we would move to different position on the stage but making sure that our backs were never facing the audience, which we all thought was very effective. In rehearsal’s, Joe came up ...
