After our discussion and vote this afternoon, the cast list is as follows.
Vanessa posted about the possibility of having bet split between two people, are we still going down this route, because we didnt take that into consideration today when debating castng ideas.
BET - Anna
GERRY - Ami
IDA - Georgia
FRANK - Jordan
MELODY - Charlotte
ROB - Victor
MAGGIE - Cody
TREVOR - Shivvy
INSPECTOR - Jack
SIDEKICK - Lissie
DOCTOR/WAITOR/BUTLER/STOOGE/NARRATOR/MELODY SIDEKICK/ANOTHER SUSPECT- Dan
I don't think we had an overall definate final character did we? so I have included all the ideas Cody wrote down today during the discussion.
The ideas for this character were
DOCTOR - Diognosis on cause of death, autopsy report could be read out throughout the action?
BUTLER - Reading blue writing, can interact with audience in the interval? comment on the action, make suggestions or comments?
MELODY SIDEKICK - Personal asssitant, assist with phone calls?
STOOGE - outside of the world of the play, 'invisible' character, maybe trying to influence decisions or generate debate amongst audience? helping the audience to shape an idea of who the murderer is.
ANOTHER SUSPECT - we could create another member of the band, or maybe the child of another character? Bet's husband? run the bar together?
VICTIM - the victim of murder
If anyone else has any other ideas then post them up!
How are we going about editing the script? Are you doing this Vanessa or is it something you want us to do over easter?
How did you come to these decisions and were they unanimous? How come Dan has a variety rather than one? Please post or email me how these decisions came about to ensure fairness. how does the gender change affect the play? In terms of rewrites and edits, after research, i thought the victim should be a character who interacts with audience and all the other suspects. After discussions on murder mystery, i think empathy with the victim and setting up the possibility of murder and the victim as a commenting character would create more suspense. Yes do edit/ adapt and send me copies so i can coordinate if there is more than one of you doing it. thanks
ReplyDeleteWe made the decision together Vanessa voting on it! and we said to Dan he can either play the inspector or a variety role so it up to him really! we thought if he played the inspector Jakko could be a butler or something? or one of the other suggestions I don't know what they think of this but this was an idea we had when discussing
ReplyDeletewe could not decide what the other characters should be so we brainstormed a few ideas and will have to discuss which one we think is strongest. will send you an email update once i have uploaded my infographic
