Hi all! Denise here :D

So basically, my character is a 36-year-old woman who works at home as a seamstress. She loves her husband very much and was very dependent on him, but lost him due to a car accident. This leads her into a deep depression, which causes her to think a guy she saw on the street is actually her husband who has returned. She proceeds to follow the man's movements and daily activities. She sees him with three different women, who are actually his wife and daughters. With her state of mind, she believes the three women to be her "husband's" mistresses. In order to have the man all to herself, she kills all three women. When the man eventually doesn't acknowledge her and speaks to her as if she were a stranger (which she is), she kills him too. The weapon used for all the murders is the woman's yarn, which she uses to strangle her victims. This fact is emphasized further as the woman keeps repeating one sentence, "The thicker the yarn, the harder it is to break." However, throughout the play, it seems as though my character is unaware or is in self-denial about her being the murderer of her victims. It is only at the end of the play does she subconsciously acknowledge that she is the murderer.

I feel that my drama group has come a long way from the beginning of drama lessons. We started of with a "channel 8" style script and then went on to rewrite a new one. In a mere few days, we have worked hard and stayed up late to rush out details for the play. We also take time to have rehearsals in school and M4-04. All in all, my drama group has become more aware of different effects as well as the usage of stage space throughout the rehearsals and lessons we have been attending. I believe we will do fairly well for our drama assessment :D
