AQA Drama Part 1 Assessment
My practical work in November 2003 was for option 3. It was a piece of devised theatre work and was based on the style of soap opera.
My contribution to the performance was a character of a girl around the age of 17 who was dealing with a pregnancy. My characters name was Shelley. I had a sister called Marie who was a prostitute and was currently having affairs with the father of my baby. I however, did not know this. My parents had dies in a car crash a few years earlier so my sister and I were living with our Aunt Dee, who was away at the time. When I confided in Marie about the pregnancy she demanded I told Aunt Dee about it, although Shelley did not want anyone finding out about it. So she threatened to tell Aunt Dee about Marie being a prostitute. We had a scene containing an argument about this ordeal. At the end of the scene Aunt Dee phones the house and finds out about the both of us. Our next scene was after Marie had just made business with the father of the baby, Phil. Marie accidentally tells Phil about the pregnancy and he threatens Shelley and tells her to get rid of it. Throughout the episodes we did, we did not see Shelley happy once. In the argument scene she was upset, worried and angry. She cried and begged Marie not to tell anyone about the baby. In the scene with Phil she is very scared and at the end, breaks down and cries. She does not know what to do or how to deal with the situation.
