Each class had two groups. They were all really good. My favourite was "Concrete Angels" which was about a seven year old girl who was getting beaten by her mother behind her fathers back and everyone was worrying she was getting bullied. In the end the father and teacher were chatting and realise the mother is the one causing all "Holly's" bruises. All the actors had great projection in their voices and contained their voices when needed. They had alot of necessary and dramatic pauses which added to the tension of the performance.
The other three plays where
1) Mid-Term Break By Seamus Heaney: I thought this play was really well acted out and the way the actresses carried there emotions was excellent. I could sense the sadness and loss throughout the whole performance.
2) Tich Miller: This was a play based on a poem which deals with bullying and exclusion. I felt this poem dealt with strong issues which are very realist today. It didn't have as much of a sad ending in comparison to the orders but showed people who are getting bullied how to stand up to the bullies.
3) The last play was all about girls and relationships and how you can be popular but you can't have everything you want and possibly end up the worst in the end. This play was also very realist and lifelike.
KH were also there and performed two play which were alot longer and more detailed then our school but I found it very hard to concentrate and understand.
I enjoyed all the plays but would of course favour my school in reaching the finals. I don't have any negative comments except that I could hear some plays very well?!?!
