Performance Workshop

Our performance of Bouncers is a workshop piece meaning that we are going to adapt the script to see what works well for us as actors and for our audience. As the play is set in the 80s one adaptation that we have discussed is modernising the language used, I think this will be really effective in appealing to our audience although it is equally important to make sure the tone of the play remains the same to keep John Godber's style present. Unfortunately it was also discussed to cut down the script which I argued against, I feel that in doing so, we will cut out many of Godber's more Vaudeville elements which makes his plays so distinct, never the less the cut down of the script has been given the 'go ahead'. Therefore we are re-arranging the scenes to make more sense.
