Cost of doing this show? Would you do it on a larger scale or not?
I personally would not do this show on a larger scale because, it would just be too much. From the type of theatre and having to move the audience from each location it wouldn't of been as good if we made it big. If we made it larger the show wouldn't have the same effect on the audience as it did smaller. Plus with having to move the audience to different locations we had to have a limit on the audience of 25 people . So it would be impossible to make it bigger.
The cost of doing this show would be 3 grand if we had the hub to use for free if not and we had to pay for each performance of the hub would maybe take it to 4 grand the show. Because, getting all the costumes and props and making sure we had the spaces for rehearsals times.
Would you tour this? If so where and what would your target audience be?
This performance i personally would love to tour however, the performance is very demanding. Getting all the props and developing more our piece to tour would be really hard. I think we could tour this and i would like to do it. But we would need to make sure we gave it all of our own. But the show would take over our life's. This piece because, i know i have directed my own scene and the amount of work we have all put in i would love to tour this. I would love to your this but i dont think it would be that easy to tour.
I would love to tour this in schools or maybe in a hotel somewhere. It would be hard to tour because, of moving the audience and the type of theatre it is. It would be hard to find a good location where we would be able to do everything. From the different scenes and different locations we would need a big space in order to do this.
Relating back to the play we could do this at a hotel. Because, a hotel would have everything we would need for the piece. Or we could go into secondary schools because, we could pick up on mental health and make them more aware of the side effects of mental health. Also, at secondary schools we could do it for the students who are taking DRAMA GCSE to educate them on what college sort of things we do.
Our target audience would been teenagers because, they would be able to understand what is going on in the piece. I would also say adults aswell because, after our show we had loads of good reviews of what was happening in the piece and they really liked the piece.

What i would change
When looking on our performance it did go really well and i am glad of what work we produced. However, to of made me more confident of the performance i would of changed or added more text to the bingo scene. It was taking a risk that scene because, it could either go really well or it could of gone really wrong. We had to work really hard in order to make sure the performance was good.
What i would of changed was maybe the bingo numbers and some of the text. Because i felt the text did slow the scene down. It was hard to get a flow with the numbers and having different text in the middle. I maybe would of developed the text to introduce my self and the relationship with the bingo players. i felt the scene was too rushed and not enough time to introduce everyone to the audience. I felt the characters could of be more involved with talking to the audience. I wanted to make the audience feel more involved like they were actually there playing bingo.
Also the scene near the end after the bedroom scene i would of changed. I felt that it wasn't developed enough and it was rushed. We didn't really focus on how to get the audience out the space they were all a bit confused with what was going on . Also some of the audience couldn't see what was going on at the top because there view was restricted.

WHAT DIDN'T WORK
Sometimes are group did have days where we just went completely went off track. We needed a plan to make sure we knew what we were doing. If there was no plan our group did find it very hard to keep up to date on things.
From being in such a big group with loads of loud people sometimes, it was hard for people and everyone to have there own say. Sometimes certain people didn't speak up because, they didn't know when they could have there say. We needed to be more aware of that and to make sure we let everyone say there say.
With our idea for the piece it was really easy to over bored with the idea and just create loads of things. It was really easy to go off track and just not actually create a piece of performance. Because our idea you could do so much with it, it was easy to add stuff we didn't even need in there. Also the hard thing that didn't work was that this piece was either going to work or not. The audience were even going to get it or think what the hell is going on.

Evaluation on my piece WHAT WORKED
What worked
Throughout this project we did have our ups and downs but, what really worked was each of us directing our own scene for the piece. We manged all to have a say on what we wanted to create and us all of our creative skills. It helped keep us on track as well because, each day when we come in we knew whose scene it was. Our group did have big personalities and loads of ideas so, it was hard to have your own same sometimes. So by each of us directing our own little scene everyone got a say on what they wanted in the piece. They could take there own ownership and imprint on the play.
Personally when directing your own scene it really made me proud and excited seeing my work come alive and knowing i directed that scene. It felt like i was a part of creating this play. That really worked well because, that way we all made sure we all had a say in the performance and what we wanted to create.
Also the freedom that we got with the piece was very hard at first. Instead of having the teachers constantly there we had to guide yourself and make a team decision on how to create this piece. Which in a strange way it did really work well for our group because, we got to explore things our self's and to learn what worked and how to over come problems we faced. We have to relay on each other and really work was a team otherwise the performance and the work shopping we did wouldn't work. Also our warm ups worked really well to let our mind go and be creative and get us in the mood.
With our group every idea we had we never said no. We always parked our ideas up and came back to them later. What worked really well was the fact, if someone said a idea and it didn't work that scene we could come back to it and it would work in another scene really good. Work shopping every idea was good and helped let us think what would go well.
What i learnt what worked in our group was ahead planning. If we didn't have a plan our group would just go crazy. So by keeping by the plan it helped keep us on track of what we needed to get done. So what we did was write a list of what costume or props we needed and who was going to get what prop. We also wrote a list of what things we could use from the college and we made a prop box. We set deadlines for when lines are meant to be learnt and deadlines for when all props needed to be in. Which really helped our group saying on top of things.

Shakespeare language
The most hardest thing through out the performance was learning the Shakespeare language . It was hard getting used to what they were saying and what was going on.
So when getting the script I decided to print one Shakespeare side and the other English so I could really understand what they are saying .
