Friday - Casting


Casting

Today, we found out what characters we would be playing the cast list is as follows:

Bonnie - Danielle
Sylvia - Sian
James - Adam
Simon - Jay
Mr Gripe - Andrew
Miss Slighcarp - Beth
Mrs Briskett - Chloe
Mr Grimshaw - Lofty
Guard - Me 
Mr Willoughby - Danny
Lady Willougyby - Me
Doctor - Zoe
School Children - All
School Inspector - Megan
Chorus - All (Amy main narrator)
Emma - Jess
Mr Wilderness - Ryan 

When doing our fist run through playing our characters, we discovered that my characters Lady Willoughby and the train guards scenes are too close together, so we decided that Lady Willoughby would not be played my anyone and we would use a prop to represent Lady Willoughby, such as a blanket as she doesn't have any lines and is always in bed because she is very sick. We also came up with the idea of projection - using a white cloth hanging from the ceiling then projecting images onto the cloth giving out a huge effect. 

A few weeks later, we decided to add Lady Willoughby back into the beginning of the play and for me to not feature in the beginning routine. So Me and Dan were at the top of the staging blocks where I lay and he sat next to me whilst everyone did the opening sequence.
