Mystery Play
How did your group create the idea for your play? Can you explain the steps you used? Did you incorporate every idea? Why or why not?
Our idea was given to us, which was a mystery play, all we had to do was work around that, which lead us into talking about funny character names and detective movies, which gave us an idea of how it’s suppose to look like. We had a planning sheet that shows that what happens in scene 1 to scene 5, each scene it gave us an idea of what it’s suppose to look like, (e.g. scene 2, introduce the characters and exposition), we used that to help us and also my group generally talking about their perspective of a mystery play about what it should like. My group used many ideas as possible to make our play a little bit …show more content…
unique, we had unique and distinctive characters (e.g. Mitch and Namu, were more serious in a weird way, where they sniff to find clues and check if a person is dead from a gunshot),we had a mini mime scene in the beginning where everyone in my group (except the detectives) were dancing to the music, my group had a strong opening tableau where we were having a party and closing tableau where the guilt is getting arrested for committing the crime, but we forgot to use it properly in our presentation. We had all the parts of a mystery play like murder, gunshot, detectives, clues, and etc… the reason we used these elements was because It was a mystery play, so we had to incorporate most of the idea. We technically used most elements of a mystery play, but some didn’t fully work out in our presentation.
Think about a time when your group encountered a problem. How did you solve it?
The problem was when Mitch decided halfway through the script that he couldn’t play a drunk guy, so instead we told him to be like Justice Mcjustice and act as him in a similar way like sniffing for clues and then we changed some of his line and changed his name to Vengeance Mc Vengeance.
Comment on the performance of someone else. What are three great things about the performance? What are three things that could be improved?
Group: Sydney, Trent, Aisha, Iman, Kate, Kylee.
The first thing I liked was the costume they had,(e.g. Detective coat, the angel and devil costume,etc…) and how effectively they were used in their play, like the angel telling not to murder the victim, while the devil encouraging to kill the victim, that part was very unique to any play I have ever seen. The second thing I liked was Iman’s character of having two sides where one is calm and friendly and the other one is angry, selfish, and ruthless, that character trait was very well played in terms of variety of emotions and feelings, from showing her good side and also resembling her dark side. The third thing I liked was their entire transition where it was on point, where they had it all set up properly, like from the crime scene to the interrogation room, it was very well clear to what is happening and where it is happening, because of their transition.
The first thing I would want them to improve on will be letting a suspect involved in a murder scene get away in a police building, and he get’s killed after, that part I felt like was not the best in terms of a mystery play, it would have been better, if Trent was sent to a doctor for check up, and another doctor interfered and took Trent, without anyone knowing then killed him.
The second thing I would want them to improve on will be the blackout in the end of scene one, where they were taking a dead body in an ambulance, which did not need a blackout because they were taking it in an ambulance, and not the dead character getting up and going off the stage. The third thing I would want them to improve on will be the reaction on seeing Trent dead, should be a bit better reaction, rather than a calm one.

I feel like I got 70 at best, because of remembering my dialogues, I did not make much of an impact except being the murderer in the play. My character could have been bigger the reason is because we forgot to do the transition where I am suppose to hide the body.That would show more dept of Milly Bays, but to be fair I most likely got a 65% on the
play.
