We were situated in the computer room, as we needed to research more about classical theatre, our monologues and what theatre was like in the past and at the time our plays (the miser) were written. I found out some interesting information about Greek classical theatre, as we watched a video about Greek theatre which explained about an amphitheatre and what theatre was like at the time.
I also discovered more about the restoration period (when theatre made a come back after it had been banned for 18 years) and The Miser. The link below has a lot of helpful information about the play which has given me a greater understanding of the plot and its history.

This also taught me that the writer Jean-Baptiste Moliere, took inspiration from life and politics during the time period to write the play. before the day finished Sonya talked to us about the presentations which we will be doing (about our monologue and what theatre was like at the time it was written). The research we have been doing will be incredibly helpful when creating our presentations. They must also be interesting (not just reading out blocks of information).
