We were given the task of adapting a play from the era we have studied. My choice was to pick the play "a view from a bridge" which is by Arthur Miller and was a post war play. I knew what I wanted to do with it rather quickly as in the first lesson we had to do this I had found a scene and had started to make my adaptions and modernize the piece. I had chosen the scene in the play in which the police take away Rodolfo and there is the big scene out of the fact that Eddie had snitched on his own family.
The way i have adapted it to a modern audience is the fat that I have changed the location so that it's in a dodgy council flat which is located in London and instead of phoning immigration, Eddie phones the police because Rodolfo was dealing drugs. Also it meant that everyone had to put on a slang type of voice and it made it a lot more modern and also there was some swear words that I put in there to make it more realistic and get more of a performance out of it.
