My overall opinion on the show is that it was really great. I had a fun time doing the show and seeing how our piece has developed and the outcome our hard work. I personally thought what went well was during the piece is that I really understood what was I saying and why was I saying it and that for me was an issue in the previous rehearsal.                             

In scene one I share a scene with Cathy and in the play where supposedly good friends.in real life where close friends so we can put our own experience and our real friendship to help portray the relationship between the characters. I think what Andrea done effectively is through her body language and her subtle movements it was clear that her character has allot of attitude and theres conflict between her and Danny. During the performance andrea(cathy) done little subtitles like when Danny talked she would roll her eyes or mimic her voice what showed that she didn’t liked her and her body language was very strong.

The piece as a whole was very strong and with the costume it helped us embrace our character to the fullest as we could dress like our character. I think the idea of using props is instead of pretending to be on our phones I thought it was more effective of actually using our phone and it made the play feel more ‘naturalistic’ also I think with the prop like some groups used a cardigan to signify that the character was the same so it was also to help the audience. I also like the use of the props as ‘lou’ would fiddle with her ring and it help link with the open section and help identify who were and weren’t the same character also each item had a different significant.  The music helped keep and pace and rhythm of the opening section and also the changeover it help represent that it’s a new scene or new part of the story. I think the weakness of the play was keeping in role whilst you were at the sides. On the other hand the strengths were there was energy thought the whole performance. I would develop the scene of the flashback of when Adam is getting ask to do all these horrible stuff and actually seeing when he ‘ eats leaves ’ .overall I really enjoyed it!!!
