- I would like "Peg" to be loyal to "Lady Wishford", yet she can still get irritated by her arrogance and occasional selfishness. She shows this by sighs, secret looks and eye rolling.
- I quite like the idea of making her rather nosey, She can be listening subtly to the conversations going on around her, yet she resists in-put (although its obvious that she would like to participate via eye and mouth movements). I believe that she would like to speak because if I was in her situation I would think that Lady Wishford and Mrs Marwood's conversation was slightly petty and immature, therefore i would want to subtly make them realise this. But in this situation "Peg" knows her place (as a maid) and knows better than to speak out.
The scene is becoming more structured and understandable with rehearsals and line learning, the ideas are developing and being used during rehearsals. Vocal skills are good as i would say everybody sounds in character and has added in comical characteristics to their voice (and movement skills for that matter). We have also discussed props and costume, we came to the conclusion that we would use an empty brandy bottle (cherry brandy), an empty liqueur bottle (red ratifia), plastic glass's and a mirror for the props, we have decided who will bring in which props to ensure we all know and understand what we need for the performance day. Costume wise we have all decided to find them individually, as we know our own characters the best. I have simply decided to wear a black top with an apron or cloth as i believe that is suitable for a maid.
Overall I believe we are working well as a group, sharing opinions and are making progress, yet further rehearsal and development is still needed.
