Play and Performance Reflection

The designment and performance of the play as a group was an excellent activity to the integration of different points of views and ways of thinking. In the play all of the group members were able to present their thoughts and use it to compose a wonderful play. My personal experience with my group was an excellent one, I could rate it, in a scale from one to ten, with a nine. We were so responsible and dedicated to make an admirable work, the realization of a good play was our primary goal. I rate it with a nine because although I consider we make a really good job our performance of the play couldn’t be as be planned. An irregular week limit us to exploit our time at maximum, we couldn’t practice our performed at least one time. Even though, we made our best effort to write an excellent script and we gave our best in the performance. One of the things that we really enjoyed during the whole project was the naming and the plot of our play. 

My role in this play project was to perform a character named Major Alcalde, I was the Major of the protagonist’ s town. I represent the high-class sector of which was surrounded the   supposed prosperous bank owner, Richard Cory.  My role character is classified as a static character since he didn’t suffer any change or improvement along the play. An evidence of my declarations could me the line in which Major Alcalde requires the monetary sponsor of the Cory’s Family to realize the town fair.  Major Alcalde says, “As you know Richard, the town fair will soon be upon us and as tradition goes I hope that the Cory’s will be one of the sponsors that help host the event?”. 

Like I said before, our objective as a group was to make a worthy play. To achieve that objective, we had to establish a clear purpose in which we centered our scripts. Our main purpose with our scripts was to demonstrate that even though you are triumphant or successful in the material and external terms, the most important thing is to be a triumphant person in your interior. What is it worth to have a prosperous job, earning lots of money and have a fancy life if in your inside you are empty or unhappy? The protagonist of our play is a perfect example of someone who have it all but isn’t satisfy or comfortable with his emotions. After explaining our play purpose, I consider that we accomplish our purpose since we forge an interesting performance which captivate the attention of our public and it could make them reflect about their internal achievements. In addition, I think that the message was completely clear at the twist point of the plot story when the bank owner kills himself. 

In conclusion, it was a really nice and instructive experience which helps to get to consider other ways to make the things. The group project is always very advantageous experience if are well administrated and the members are really dedicated.  One of my insights of this project as a writer was that I can spread out my ideas even more just examining my arounds more carefully. The idea that guide us to make our play was a simple song that one of my peers remembers, that was the origin of our whole play and we were adding to it a few more thoughts to make it even better. My point is that many people could be excellent writers just if they think their surroundings a little bit.
