The style of the text is stream of consciousness which is a style I liked. It built atmosphere and tension throughout the play which makes the action within the play more exciting and engaging. The storyline is very interesting and it covers many social, cultural and political ideas which is always good as it gives you a lot to think about and more importantly a lot to work with. As the play is written line by line it will be interesting to see how I interpret it compared to a paragraph of lines, which you get in a normal play. Depending on how I interpret it, I will perform in a different way to how I normally do. I am glad that this piece focuses a lot on physical theatre and I am looking forward to devising some to fit into the play. It is quite a personal play which means it will involve the actors and audience more directly. The character is sharing his memories and thoughts and therefore I feel I need to perform well so the character is best represented. The word imagine is used a lot which is affective because when you say imagine, that is exactly what we do; we imagine.
Other Ideas:
The style makes you feel privileged as the reader, as you are let inside the mind of the character and you share his darkest thoughts and memories.
Anyone can perform the play- this makes it our play.
All words are important- no throw away lines.
