east end british mother and an indian daughter.. makes sense. but anyway, doing this for my intermediate 2 piece, i'm playing monica. are bits of some of the big paragraphs supposed to be missed out?
Daisy is fine, the mother is horribly out of place however - more a reflecton on the director than the actress. To my mind is a mistake to try and bring the piece into the present day - it's got so much of it's own period intrinsicly woven into it.
oh and tbh, i think the daisy girl is quite good. not being racist or anything but she fits in with the storyline well, you know, eastend elementary schoolgirl.
We're donig this at my school and I'm playing Daisy! Thank the Lord. It's a good play but the language in the paly is so diffrent from hthe way most people speak nowadays that it's soemtimes hard to get the roder of the words right.
Ahhhh!!! i have an audition for this tomorrow, i haven't read the script, i have just got a brace and have a huge lisp and i have no idea who to audition for!! HELP what do i do?
Have faith in yourself, use the brace and the lisp to your advantage.. the play is a comedy; have a laugh and be fun.. they'll want you cos you are fun!
You cant say Good L... in the theatre, instead they say "break a leg"!!!
Thanks for your positivity.. all the best for your role.. its a very funny play so I hope you have fun.
Dont worry about being scared.. its all part of giving a good performance (even the most experienced actors get that feeling in the pit of the stomach!)
A truly frightful production of a scrumptiously funny play. With the notable exceptions of the girls playing Sybil and Trixie, the rest of the cast, the director and the designer should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves.
And where's the second act?
And why change the songs? The Ash Grove and Cherry Ripe (in script) are far funnier than Do a Deer and All things bright and beautiful.
i'm gonna be in this play as Belinda. my friend got the role i wanted :( (monica) and not because of her acting abilities but because of her personality. the drama teacher doesn't know me so she stereotyped me :(
hello. i've done this play before and i must say that ours was different, out characters acted a bit more realistic. No offence, but you guys act a little fake. Otherwise the play is ok... Cheers, Alice (Trixie Martin)
Thanx for your comment, though not having the opportunity to see a video of your performance I'll have to take your word for the realism bit!
Realism in theatre is a complex subject.. sometimes stylism is the objective.
I think the stylism of the performance was a response from the cast and director to the subject. To me the whole public school bit is unreal anyway.. but hey, each to their own, eh?
hi, i'm doing this right now and so i enjoyed looking at this, the acting was so full of energy and excitement! But I did feel that the girls could have perhaps put on posh accents to make it seem more real, on the whole though it looked really good. Thanks for sharing!!!
The students who performed on the evening are from all over the world, the college being very international in character. I was impressed by them embracing such a classically British range of characters.. but I agree the accents reflect this. I think in some cases they did really well in articulating the play at all, given their backgrounds etc.
"Break a leg" (as they say) with your own production.
I guess this was an abridged version, as two other excerpts of well known plays were performed that evening.. The acting club at London Business School could enlighten us further,
At my college we are making this play as funny and provocative as we can and it is surprisingly easy

How can the mother have that accent? I'm sorry, but I am yet to hear of an opera singer who talks like that.

Well done to everyone who performed this!
