Pillowman - lesson 5 - 06/11/2015

In today’s lesson we focused on the dialogue and how we will set the first Act. We’ve already sorted out what we do when the play first starts. We want to show how dark and horrible the ‘police’ are so that we are confusing audience on who’s actually the bad person in the play. Katurian who writes these stories about murdered children or children being tortured in horrific ways, Michael who acts out a few of the stories, or Ariel and Tupolski who breach someone’s human rights and murder a possibly innocent person. For my character, I feel that it’s important to show how unhinged he is and also how he takes his approach to intimidate people, for example: When he walks in with a “Bloody clothing around his hand” however it’s just fake blood. However, when you compare this to Tupolski’s character, he’s very manipulative and uses his wording to an advantage. To really show these characteristics, Dan will take a ‘relaxed’ approach to his character as it shows that he can always be thinking and that he’s also a lot more in control. By his doing this, it then means that I can go all out with Ariel and find ways to really show his anger. I feel that a way I can show anger is by pacing around the room, screaming at either of the characters in the middle of a conversation or even start throwing things around the room.
