Research of Different Theatre pieces/ Ideas for theatre work


We have decided to look up different shows/ theatre companies that can relate to our show or ideas we can add in. My job with in the group was to look up more key information about faulty towers because, we are wanting to set the hotel a bit like that atmosphere. I have also looked into Benidorm because, I liked the comedy the show brings and we could think of characters to add into the piece.



Faulty Towers: 

The reason for looking into fault towers is because, we like the story line of how there is comedy added into the piece.  We like how each different character makes showing to the show. 

The hotel idea of how we have different characters walking in and out of the hotel we could, copy some of there characters.

Casting:   

John Cleese ........... Basil Fawlty
Prunella Scales ........ Sybil Fawlty
Andrew Sachs ........... Manuel
Connie Booth ........... Polly Sherman
Renee Roberts .......... Miss Gatsby
Gilly Flower ........... Miss Tibbs
Ballard Berkeley ....... Major Gowen


For example we have done the same idea for our hotel we have added a maid like Manuel in the faulty towers. Its going to be a dark comedy but, by adding key characters that will lighten the piece from the dark comedy.  So one of our research was really done on faulty towers of what sort of characters they use.


Also we have looked into PunkDrunk and watched some of what they do ....



 PUNKDRUNK:
 
 
Punchdrunk is a British theatre company, formed in 2000, the pionee of a form of "immersive" theatre in which the audience is free to choose what to watch and where to go.This format is related to "promenade theatre".

what I have been doing, is looking on youtube for different things punkdrunk has done and I have been watching ready to be able to get physical movements or to pick up anything to add into the piece
