Today I worked on ‘The Glass Menagerie’ script by ‘Tennessee Williams’. Our group blocked the scene and then I went through the script and annotated it. I put my lines in pink, stage directions in blue, any mention of costume, set or props in red and then any character notes in purple. I have learnt that I learn things much better if I order them and colour coordinate, It also helps my understanding of the text, so I try to do this with every script that I get. Bellow you can see my copy of the script and how I chose to annotate it. I am happy with how I chose to do this and I think that it will be really helpful in disecting the script and already I feel as though I am coming more to grips with the characters and the pragmatics and emotions they are feeling. I feel as though the blocking we achieved today was good, but I think that once we have read the entire play and watched the film, we can improve upon what we have already created, to make it even better.
