Unit 8:Monologue Look back in Anger by John Osborne.(1956)

Research/Context Look back in anger is written by John Osborne in 1956.It is focused on his life,being a educated and intelligent young man but being part of the working class origin.It includes explanations of how his marriage unfortunatly failed with Pamela Lane whilst midway writing Look back in anger. It was set in a cramped flat in Derby and the play was opened on the 8th of May 1956. Osborne drew loads of inspiration about his personal life , which was his first succesful goal as a playwright. The play became favourable in the theatre community,not long before it was an enormous commercial success.It transferred to places like the West End and Broadway and even getting a chance to tour through Moscow.As John Osborne was a struggling playwright,for him to turn it around into a wealthy and famous personality he managed to win the Evening Standard award for being the most promising playwright. Rehearsal We were set different pieces of scripts which we had the opportunity to choose from , I chose Dont look back in anger by John Osborne, which I worked with Kai whenever we had online lessons. We chose a passage by Jimmy porter a character in the play. In my spare times I would go over it and make sure I knew it sufficiently. It was about 12 lines down , a good use of vocabulary and was pretty interesting I've got to give it to you. It obviously wasn't going to be completed overnight but I would say we had covered pretty quickly even having to deal with the difficulty of being online rather than in college. I believe it was a good topic to cover , also being in pairs was good because our lessons would sometimes be full and sometimes only have a few of us online. It was a up and down sort of moment. Myself and Kai didn't really communicate off lessons which meant we took responsibility for ourselves and in the end we put it together which worked marvelously. that i focus is on Jimmy Porter who is twenty-five years of age, is pretty tall and has a sculpture of a thin young man.Osborne titled his play Look Back in Anger because he says it summarizes the characters'attitudes towards their lives towards the end.

I believe it was a good topic to cover , also being in pairs was good because our lessons would sometimes be full on some days  and in others be very few. Myself and Kai didn't really communicate off lessons to help each other which meant we took responsibility for ourselves and in the end we still succeeded together which worked marvelously.
Listening and watching each other helped aswell so that we can compare ourselves and improve

Unit 3/4 : Vinegar Tom

vinegar Tom was written in 1976 by a british playwright by the name of Caryl Churchill. It circulates around the themes of gender and power relationships.The play was originally set in the 17th century.It was mainly used as an inspiration after a woman by the name of Elizabeth Clarke was executed for witchcraft in 1645.So the play was written as it wanted to explore the women Rights Acts in 1970. It was premiered for the first time in Humberside Theatre,Hull on the 12th of october 1976. When we first got given the scripts for the play, we analysed the wordings and the way it was written,we thought of ideas and techniques used to be able to explore and inspire people in the modern era and show people the way things were. We were given homework to research when the play was set and the backstory of the upcoming of it. We then all came back with our ideas and absorbed a bubble where we combined every good point together. We would also be split into pairs to practise the lines with our pa...

Production lessons with Rebecca

In Rebecca's production lessons we would arrive at 1pm and be informed of the work set to complete for that lesson. We would work on computers most times. There would be normal difficulties when using a computer , like for example, passwords not working or computers just running slow. We would have to deal with it but at the end of the day we would complete our goal so everything is still merry. At times we are told to write paragraphs about a topic for example, Clothing, what do clothing designers need , any qualifications, who they work with , how they have to think or act and how they do their jobs. We would learn about different lights that are used in theatres, for instance Profiles, LED stage lights , Side lights etc. We would also have a PSHE lesson afterwards for another hour on a Monday, we've covered County lines and other topics already. I think it's good because its an everyday knowledge which of course everyone would want to have.
