Identity Thief - individual post by Lauren

As our theme is based on the idea of waiting and identity, I have found and watched a film called Identity Thief. I thought it was relevant as the plot of the film; "Sandy Patterson learns that someone stole his identity and ran up a huge credit card debt. Sandy's job is in jeopardy because of it. The police are unable to do anything. So Sandy decides to find the person who stole his identity so that the whole thing could be straightened out. He finds the person, a woman who tries to run for it but Sandy stops her. He tries to bring her back but there are some people who want her too for other reasons. So Sandy is dodging bullets and being attacked".

Hiratio and Sophie; the two main characters in our play , have swapped identities all thanks to Hiratio. As Sophie starts to evolve she doesn't realise that society see's her as man. It's not the same as the film identity thief but however I thought it had some relevance. In the film Sandy finds the woman who stole his identity and confronts her just as Sophie and Hiratio have some sort of confrontation about who each other is. Hiratio purposely swaps identities with Sophie and so the whole time he has known what's happened whereas Sophie does not. This could be really frustrating as well as exciting for the audience because they know what's happened whereas the actors do not.

In the Movie whilst Sandy (identity was stolen) life is on strain due to the fact someone has stolen his identity, the woman that stole It has a whale of a time.
Horatio enjoys his life so much after he swapped identities whereas Sophie becomes mentally confused and depressed. Her life is deteriorating.
