The fabulously rude play :)

Living in a muslim country, it's not often that we have the opportunity to act in racy or daring plays, so acting out the first scene of "Too Much Punch For Judy" is a great change from ecology and humanity! Not that I don't care about all of those causes, of course. It's just that it's fun to do a play that isn't about a subject that is rammed down your throat so often. Right: Too much punch for judy is actually a tragic play about a sister who drunk drives and gets into an accident that kills her sister. But as the first scene has to be a contrast to the rest of the play, the silliness must be exaggerated to the extreme. We were separated into two groups, and our directors were Meghna and Alyazia. Meghna took the male characters, and Alyazia worked on Celine and I. I enjoyed working with Alyazia because she let us act and improvise until she decided at certain points to change certain aspects, rather than telling us what to do and not letting us have any input. The only trouble that Celine and I had was that we took the text to the extreme and for the next lesson when we will work on this play, we have to tone down our movements and learn to synchronise them.
Can't wait to continue with this play!

A happy actress!
