My teacher assigned a project today that involves my group and I creating a play. I chose to group up with Larry, Linda, and Sean. Linda's dad had some left over Greek costumes so we thought it would be a good idea to create a Greek play. One of the costumes has a red stain on it, but it is fine because we think we can pass it off as blood. The costume is a soldier costume so blood will fit in fine with the theme of the costume and the play.

 

The play only needs to be five minutes long, but that is still a lot of lines to memorize. We figure that if we make the play center around a fight scene then we will not have to talk as much because we can spend some time sparring with our weapons.

 

Linda's dad has given us permission to use his set of four Greek armors that consist of breast plates and Greek helmets. He has some weapons to go along with them, but will not let us use them. His philosophy is that the school would not like us to take weapons into the building. The use of old paper towel rolls will be employed in an effort to make safe swords to spar with. We'll paint the paper towel rolls so people will think they look like swords rather than kitchen trash. I don't think the teacher will like it if we just jab at each other with paper towel rolls.

 

The theme of the fight scene is going to be betrayal. The play will start with one warrior abandoning a battle and three comrades attempting to stop him. The actors will start to argue before eventually doing combat with each other. During the battle the main character will have his Greek helmet knocked off of his head.

 

Once the helmet falls off they will get into a dialog. They will beg him to return to the army so that they will not have to kill him. He will refuse because he will be against what the army stands for. The play will end as a tragedy because the main character will be killed by his three comrades. Tragedies tend to be the most emotional types of plays and we think this will help us with our grade. I'm hoping that all of our planning will get us a good grade.
