English Drama

Through out the year we have been working on an English play. My groups play was based on the poem "but you didn't"by Meryll Glass. The poem is about a couple who are in love and the husband leaves for war in vietnam and never returns. In the poem the Wife is reflecting over some old memorys where she taught he would do something but didn't hence the name but you didn't. Our play was very like the poem, In our first scene she reflects over a time that she scratched his car and she taught he'd kill me but he didn't, Scene two was were they planned on going to a formal dance and meryl forgot to tell john it was a formal dance and he turned up in jeans she taught he'd hate her but he didn't, scene three she flirts with other men (ME) to make him jealous she taught he'd drop her but he didn't in the forth scene we decied that we should show their engagment but we twisted it, meryll decides to say no as a joke but she then worries he'd get angry but he didn't. Our last scene to the play was deffinaltly most emotional she says there were many things i wanted to tell you when you got back from vietnam .... BUT YOU DIDN'T! The day was definaltly sucsessful and our play went as planned with no mistakes. We all just hope and pray that we get through to the next round in Cork. Once we finished our play we headed out around the town in mulingar down to Mc. Donalds and were quickly back in time to watch the other schools which wre VERY good also.
