Blood Brothers :: Drama

gunstock BrothersMy practical work in folk to December was for my acting option.It was a scripted piece of work ground on the come across Blood Brothers.There are various themes in Blood Brothers, a clash of class, romance,jealousy, and betrayal.My contribution to the performance was as a seven-year-old child. Iplayed Edward. Edward is a real reserved character. He is fountainhead spokenand polite and is very surprised and shocked at many an(prenominal) things rice paddy(his friend) does. He comes from a wealthy background and so is useto having everything he needs. He enjoys helping other people out.When acting as Edward I needed to have a very good posture. propmyself well, this showed a contrast between Edwardss upper class andMickeys lower class. I to a fault needed to speak well, pronouncing mywrangle clearly. This again showed a clear contrast between Mickey andEdwards class.To help me in my work I looked for information on the profit andbooks I looked at pictures of you ng boys in the 1950s, this helped mechoose my costume. I also listened to the Blood Brothers sound track,and watched a professional performance of Blood Brothers at thePhoenix Theatre. I also read a play called blue thistle remembered Hills byDennis Potter.The most useful material I looked at was the output of BloodBrothers at the Phoenix theatre. This is because it helped me withmany things. To begin with I watched and listened to Edward verycarefully. I took note of the way in which he moved and the nervus facialisexpressions he used. I also listened very carefully to the pace atwhich he spoke and the t angiotensin-converting enzyme of his voice. I could thusly use this to remediate my personal performance. I also observed the costume Edwardwas wearing. This helped me to decide what I should wear for myperformance.I am now going to contrast and compare Blood Brothers with BlueRemembered Hills our piece was set in the 1950s. However, the otherplay was set in 1943 during the Se cond World War. The plays weresimilar because they both started hit with people very happy, playingand enjoying themselves. However as they continued both plays becamemore serious and in the end at least one person was killed in both.There also some differences. To begin with Blood Brothers is acyclical play. This means it starts at the end, then goes to beginningthen the end again. Blood Brothers also skipped large time gaps. Theplay showed scenes with the homogeneous characters as children teenagers andadults in the 1850s 60s 70s and 80s.
