House Drama

House Drama. There's a crazy literary technique. When the first words of a passage are the same as the title. Men'al.

We put in loads of work to House Drama. Tindal wasn't really expected to do well: we're the only house without an A2 drama student, so we probably should have been the worst, but we thought that if we really tried hard that we could come out of it having done reasonably well.

Charlotte (Wiggy) and Rosie organised it, and they worked really hard. I was heavily involved with it, despite not taking drama and not being a great actor, but I really took an interest and wanted it to be awesome.

Our first piece was nearly a duologue from Antony and Cleopatra, which was always going to be tricky, but when I first saw the first proper rehearsal I was really pleased with it - the only problem, if anything, was volume.

Our second piece was a duologue from Blood Brothers, which was very good, as long as it remained loud and clear and none of the words were swallowed up :-)

Our last piece was from The Crucible, and this was always my favourite. I took most of an interest in this, cos this was our most ambitious piece - if it worked, it would be awesome. If not, we'd suck.

So we started, and Ed Starr and I were the compères for Tindal. The final positions were:

1. Holland
2. Strutt
3. Mildmay
4. Tindal

So yeah, we came last. Kinda sucks, but I was still really pleased. I thought that it went really well, and I really enjoyed it. I think we did the best we could do and we couldn't've done more. We didn't expect to win and we didn't... The Crucible, in particular, was awesome. I was so pleased with it; it went really well and I hugged all the cast so hard afterwards. Apparently it was awarded the second highest mark in the competition... niiice. The other pieces were good too, although maybe next year we should steer clear of Shakespeare... Although it was performed well. And Blood Brothers was great too :-)

Hehe now I'm feeling less than great though... Never mind, eh.....
