Too Much Punch For Judy

Development Phase

The accident scene we performed was spilt into two lessons. In the first we acted out the events leading up to the crash and in the second we acted out the crash scene.

My partner played the part of Jo and I played Judy. We knew from the play that both girls were over the limit but we portrayed them as two different kinds of drunks. You could tell Jo was drunk by the way she walked, talked and spoke about things in a drunken stupor. Judy on the other hand was less obvious. She was the sister in control and acted quite normally even though she was very drunk.

In the first part of the scene Judy and Jo were finishing off a night drinking in the wine bar. Judy was too busy flirting with the bartender to notice what Jo was saying to her. Jealous, Jo says its time to go and drags her sister out of the bar and into the car park. Too drunk to remember where they parked the car they think up the bright idea of pressing the car alarm and following the sound. When they finally find the car they argue about who should drive. Judy then convinces Jo that she shouldn’t drive by bringing up the fact that she already has 2 points on her driving licence and a driving conviction. Jo then stops arguing and throws Judy the keys, they land on the floor and Judy picks them up and they get in the car.

We both used flirtatious movements and gestures like tuning our bodies in towards the man and smiling non-stop, my partner flicking her hair and me not breaking eye contact with him. The sisters were very competitive towards each other fighting for attention. ...
