PMD1/2/4 Creating character monolgues VDU

This lesson there was only 4 of us in the lesson. This was a setback as we didn't have the full cast to futher develop our masquerade scene being the 'next step' in last weeks schedule.

In order to generate more material myself and Hannah decided to create 6 monologues to ensure everyone had a speaking role during the performance.

At random we chose 3 random storylines of the characters...

• " A Pirate, who is about to take over a ship"
• " A Doctor, a patient comes to life on his autopsy table"
• " A Time traveller, who just invented a time machine"
• " A gluttonous Chef, who never finishes making a dish"
• " A mistress of the King, trying not to get caught by the Queen"
• "A Nurse, who delivers conjoined twins" 

I chose the Pirate, Doctor and Time traveller titles whilst Hannah did the other three. We decided to style the monologues in the unique style of Beckett, using repetition, emotive less expression , gasping and soundscape e.g. coughing.

We had 10 minutes for each monologue to ensure we didn't waste time. In addition these monologues are to be recited in a timely fashion and therefore do not need to be long.

Below are the three monologue I wrote...

Below is a copy of the monologues Hannah created with annotations of changes/developments I would make.
