Our first scene was the play’s opening in which I acted as Salty, Jade acted as Gail and Ria acted as Hobby. During the beginning we focused very much on showing the audience how we interpreted the character’s relationships with each other, we showed Salty as the leader of the group keeping him constantly in front of the others and center stage. In the line ‘Sit down first year, stand up second year’ in which Salty refers to Mrs Hudson’s school assemblies Gail sits down and Hobby stands up on command showing just how much authority he has over them and establishing him as ‘the one in charge’. In order to show Salty not only as the leader of the group but also a youngster who surprisingly had a lot to say I paced and made elaborate gestures when I gave his speech, showing that although he seemingly hadn’t rehearsed what he was going to say he was very determined to put into words just what he was feeling. Even dismissing Gail with a gesture at one point, demonstrating how much he really cares about what he’s saying. This action of authority parallels and further scene in which he surprises Mrs. Parry with his maturity as he explains to her that the politicians don’t care about ordinary folk like him. In turn I felt that the interpretation of Salty showed his many sides which shows John Gober’s trate of using stereotypes and multi-role.
