A year's work finally come to fruition. The object and sole purpose of Drama 30 is the direction of a One-Act play. A One-Act play being, obviously, a play with only one act, as many scenes as you like but only one act. They tend to be shorter then your full-length Shakespearean epics, not always but often. Those story really starts last year when I decided to audition for an acting-part. As a result of gawd knows what I was cast...in TWO plays. One floundered, stuttered and stumbled it's way onto the cutting room floor. The other flourished elegantly and flew through, if I remember correctly, 6 performances. This play, Ionesco's Improvisation, had the dubious honour of performing at the cities festival. Now since this year has begun I've had one goal and that is to take what I learnt of directing, Ionesco and the theatre in general to make a repeat performance a production of an Ionesco that equals the calibre of Improv. Well today was the testing-ground the Drama 30 Showcase: 1 day as many plays as directors and a night cap of deliberation as to who deserves to go to the Cities festival. Who will represent our school, which two plays will represent our class. And as you probably have assumed, you've watched enough sports movies in your time to know, I made it. My actor's, yes they are mine like possessions, rose to the task, and it was quite a task The Lesson being one of Ionesco's most pedantic. They performed brilliantly and got me ( and themselves) into the cities. Although now I realise it is something of a pyric victory; that is to say today was nowhere near a finished, a polished product. So I have one hell of a week ahead of me.
