The night of the performance had finally arrived. After what seemed to be an empty piece of theatre a mere few weeks before the show, it seemed we now had something. Nevertheless, this did not hide the fact the show lacked diversity. Even though the show for what it was consisted of some interesting and visually stimulating pieces of physical theatre, I feel we could have explored some of the untouched aspects of the First World War; for instance, the rise of female employment in the staple industries. However, instead the show portrayed heartbroken housewives; a very clouded depiction of the female war effort. As a result, due to the journey within the story line I believe my focus slightly strayed away.
Nevertheless, my commitment still remained as I wanted to make the most of what was available. For example, I believe the bar scene had a lot to offer in terms visual effectiveness. There was a constant tempo in the scene which allowed the transitions to be smooth which heightened the efficacy of the piece.
On the whole, the piece had a watchable story line that exhibited some well structured physical theatre. As an ensemble we worked very well as the trust between each performer was of the highest quality which is imperative to a performance.
