the funky play selection process
To select ‘After Dinner’, Ready steady Act went through a number of individual and group processes.
We were each given a booklet with brief synopsies of each possible play and we each chose one to research. After presenting our research in class we narrowed it down into a short list of our 3 favourite plays.
The next process involved analysing the scripts of the short listed, and having debates and class discussions about the play we were the most passionate about. There were some hurdles in the selection process as ‘After Dinner’, our favourite, had inapropriate scenarios in the script. however, we over came this hurdle with further discussion and forming ideas of how we can work around the dirty language.
The final process involved a vote. It was out of ‘the secrets bridesmaid business’, ‘Garys house’ and ‘After Dinner’. After dinner rose above the two, and we as a production team were very content with our choice.
