Within todays lesson we created our final scene and what ending we feel as though will be good to place into our piece. We have decided to include a twist at the end to engage the audience and ensure that the piece is interesting from start to finish. This twist consist of having the main character played by myself believe that she is back to being Sophie Smith after waking up from a terrifying dream which includes her being lost in a maze and trapped from the world. Within the dream chants are said and key lines from the rest of our piece is being said by all characters except myself. She then wakes up from the nightmare and believes she has regained her identity and everything was just a scary dream. To ensure the audience understands this Danny who plays the real Horatio whispers 'it's time to wake up now' into my ear. She immediately calls her parents after waking to present the good news and explains how she is herself again. The lights then go out to a blackout and you hear her parents say 'He's calling again'. Revealing to the audience that she hasn't changed back and it was all an idea in her head that wasn't true. To create this we took in mind the physical theatre used within The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night time which we saw last week. I feel as though this non-naturalistic scene worked well to establish the happenings within the main characters mind and how it is effecting her and also ensures that the audience understands the characters feelings.
