GCSE yr 11 performance- Reviewing a play.

How I felt in the auditorium:

The whole auditorium was very comfortable because the audience was seated in the middle seats of the first six rows, this made the auditorium seem a lot smaller and then it didn’t matter that the audience was kind of small. You also felt very comfortable because of the seats, it felt as if you were sitting at home on your  couch. 

'Harry's Girls' was about a man who loses his wife in the very first scene, we do not know what happens to the kid but she is gone for the rest of the play, and his struggle to get his life back on track.

The play opens with a scene in the car where the daughter is happily telling her father she is winning a computer game. This happy scene is interrupted by a scream from the mother as the car crashes. The crash is shown through slow motion as the actors are moving their upper bodies in circles to demonstrate the car turning. Then there is a freeze broken by the subtle cry of the little girl which wakes up the father who finds his wife dead.

We used our bodies and short sentences to recreate the scorch moments of the play. These included the dinner table where he realized he had taken his wife for granted, his rejection by all the girls and his realization that he needed to change. (this video will be uploaded soon).

Adjectives and verbs that describe the play:
rejection, hurt, regret, attempt, fail, confrontation, realization.
