I think our project is coming along fairly well. We made good progress in class, especially on Thursday as this was the day the entire group was in call. I was missing Tuesday and Friday due to being sick and having a chemistry exam. Nevertheless we have already made good progress. The group is working well together, we had no issues assigning parts.
The story Lamb To the Slaughter is fairly short and has fewer important roles. Also due to its shortness the character- besides the main character Mary Maloney - are not particularly deep. Therefore we have to add more specific characterizations for them. Even though this means more work in the progress for us it also gives us a sort of freedom in the adaptation as we can add, and change characterizations as we want and as it works with our casting. We already wrote a big part of the script based on the lines already in the story. We also already added some more dialogue that was indicated in the original story, but wasn’t specifically written out. We may add some more lines for the smaller parts in the story, that will give them more stage time and clarify their characters.
Our next step is to start blocking the sketch. This will help us get a deeper understanding of the script and will allow us to further plan a staging diagram. Since for the spring show the stage is all black we have a nice neutral background we can work with well. Blocking we also let us get a better view of the amount of stage time and lines that each actor has. Thus we can determine whether or not to add more to the script. After having done some blocking we can also determine the time that the sketch takes, as so if it meets the requirements.
I am looking forward to continue working with my group, which I believe is getting along very well. I am hoping to make this last project for the class a great one.
