"Teechers" - Part 1 Assessment
My practical work took place in March 2004 and was a piece of scripted work in the style of a Comedy Drama. This was shown in Physical Theatre and is for option 2. I performed a segment of the play "Teechers" by John Godber. The main theme behind this piece was the relationship between students and their teachers.
I am going to compare and contrast this piece to another play called "Shakers" which is of a similar style and is by the same writer.
The format of "Teechers" is a play set within a play where 3 or more students perform memories from their time at secondary school; this means that the actors/actresses must play multiple characters. "Teechers" is set in a modern day Secondary School in England.
My contribution was to play two characters called Gail and Nixon; my main character was Nixon who was a young casual male teacher new to the school in which the play was set.
