Stags and Hens - personal performance review :: Drama

Stags and Hens - personal performance reviewDrama courseworkThe interoperable piece that I performed on 16th December 04 was a act uponwritten by Willy Russel called Stags and Hens. It was written in1978 and is set on a hen/stag night in Liverpool for what was at thattime, the present - training the mutant, however, and comparing it withthe portrayal of present day Liverpool I sight no obvious changes.Another play that I have studied is patrician Remembered Hills by DennisPotter. This play was written in and is set in the bone marrow of Devon inWW2 year 1943 with a have of 5 boys and 2 little girl characters all ofwhich ar children around the age of 7. Composed for a cast of 5female and 5 male characters, Stags and Hens highlights a variety of slipway in which men and women differ from separately other. The two scenesconsist of some(prenominal) location switches, initially between the male andfemale WC rooms at a nightclub - followed by further ventures into thenightclub itself. When reading a male section, I noticed how there waslittle hesitation from the absolute majority of characters when it came toleaving their vomiting booster dose in the WC, whereas the ladies refuse toleave their friend behind while she does her make-up. This points outhow men and women can react differently to a situation here, whilstthe women are showing sensitivity and care for each others feelings,the men appear thoughtless and self-indulgent. Links alike(p) to thisone are made throughout the play, and although not always noticed atfirst, usually become clear with hindsight. Initially, the male andfemale characters are kept separate from each other, but as the nightprogresses they flux up more this gives the impression of awarenessand organisation at the beginning, bit by bit smudging into a drunkenconfused muddle towards the end. It is a common character of modernsociety for men and women to form separate alliances, and is often further by gender division in ever yday things. Things that arent level off considered like going to the toilet it is seldom that anyonewill see a unisex toilet in public. Also, it is seen as normal for mento play football and drink beer, and women to wear make-up and drinkgirly drinks. This is accentuated in Stags and Hens on severaloccasions. Both genders make referrals to each other putting thesestereotypes into trust girls Y can bet theyll be pourin it downthem like its goin out a fashion. (Talking about the men) guys A woman has responsibility to her feller.
