Thursday college lesson had me tick off 2 out of the 6 end of term assessments I've had to perform.

Though it sadly wasn't the ideal outcome. For one, as usual, for the most of the day I was feelin rather sluggish and was finding it difficult to learn my lines and rehearse. I wasn't the only one though, for 'The Birthday Party' rehearsals we all seemed to be having trouble trying to get our lines right and it lead to a very frustrating atmosphere with everyone yelling at themselves and all that crap. I was feelin pretty pissed espeically at this song that just wouldn't stay stuck in my head. It was a pretty short song like and was probably for comedy purposes, so me having no singing talent whatsoever didn't get in the way, but even still I'de read through (many...many times) then when it came to rehearse the bloody thing its all totally blank. The end performance i managed to get a few of the right lines out, but for the most part i just improvised some gibberish....it was all done in an irish accent so i doubt anyone would of noticed the difference :lol:

We also accidently skipped like half a page of dialoque :? but no matter, the end scene we still nailed pretty well, most of my group thought it went pretty sh**, I felt rather guilty over that fact for me taking so long to try and get my friggen lines memorised but overall thought it could of been alot worse, and frankly as far as the audience is concerned i tink there were no problems :P

Heres a Mug-shot of me Irish-thug expression :P...though i noticed it doesn't stray too far from my usual expression lol

Not much is really known aboot my character in The Birthday Party, since we were only performing an extract from the play it didn't really give much insight etheir to the overall situation. :? My character though 'McCan' was some Irish Thug who appeared at the birthday party of some guy called Stanley. Me and Goldberg, another thug, were to escort Stanley to who knows were, maybe some mob boss or sumin similair. But not knowing we were stumbling into his birthday party complete with guests, both McCan and Goldberg decide to roleplay as guests themselves. Stanley seems to have suffered some sort nervous breakdown and doesn't speak throughout the performance.

The scene that we performed like i said doesn't really give much detail into just what exactly is going on, I had to research the play just to figure out my characters true intentions. It definatly looks to be a pretty fun play though, one that i would eventualy like to perform in as a whole 8).

The other performance, an extract from 'Abigails Party'...proper party animal me :P...went much smoother. I had not as many lines in these piece, but even still I was able to remember my lines pretty accuratly in this piece :?. Everything went according to plan and we got a few laughs in this thanks to its witty writin....and...well the performances who delivered them too lol 8).

My character in this was a typical white collor joe by the name of Tony, I was at party being hosted by Beverly who is sort of a gossipy loud mouthed clutz. Other guests are my wife Angela, a nurse who talks rather slowly and is best described as abit ofa mong tbh :P. From the scene we perform I'm hinted to be quite a bully over Angela and seems to enjoy bossing her around.

Other characters are Laurence, Beverlys upper-Klass wannabe husband who trys to faux a vast knowledge in culture, paintings and all that artyz stuff. And finally Susan, who isn't really all that evident in the scene we performed. Shes a very timid character whos too polite to simply get herself out of this situation to which she really does want to flee from.

Anywhoo the main focus in this scene was Laurence suffering a heart attack and us all trying to help as much as we can. Tony though seems to still be rather uninterrested atm and while will be the one to call the ambulance, for the most part is to sit there staring at the clock :P.

Beverly will constantly switch between concerned wife to then explaining how its all Laurences own fault over his heart attack :lol:

Abigials party was pretty fun to perform in and definatly a play that i'de like to perform as a whole too. Theres also a movie of it too apparently :? but i haven't bothered to look up any info as of yet..

Sooo yeah thats thursday was summed up, there was 5 other performances but they didn't involve me so and i can't really bothered giving a quick rundown on each n every one :P.

I was also plannin on takin some pics of us all in our costumes, but i forget me bleedin camera :evil: still theres a whole week of the Wizard of Oz for me to get a lovely lil album of me dressed asa monkey :P lol
