the actor playing Bob would
have to be an older man
with grey hair and looks
around the age of 70
FRAN
i would want the actress for fran
to be slim, with white hair and
obviously looking old because
she is the mother of four adult
children now.
MARK
I would want the actor for mark to be
quite tall and with quite a manly build
because we want to see the significance
of his gender transition when he
becomes a woman.
BEN
I would want Ben to look more like
a fancy business man who looks
after himself well
smart hair
cut and
smart facial
hair.
ROSIE
Rosie would have
to be quite small
and look a lot
younger than the
rest of the
characters. i
would want the
actress to be
slim, pretty and
have qite a
child-like body
still.
PIP
I would want the
actress for pip to
have dark ahir and
have a natural tired
look about her
Communicating relationships
Pip and fran in there argument
pip has an aggressive gait as she
is walking away from fran
this shows that pip is
disappointed with Fran and is
also quite angry at her because
she hasn't done anything wrong
but Fran doesn't treat her fairly.
in contrast to the relationships that
fran has with the others, especially
with Ben.
Fran stays still with
neutral body language
to show that she isn't
reactant which shows
that she doesn't have
as much of a
connection with pip.
pip doesn't look
fran in the face (no
eye contact)
suggests isolation on both parts
fran isolated pips feelings and so is
the reason for the argument, bur now
that she is older, she is now isolating
frans feelings/ support.
When Rosie's siblings lift
her up during her
monologue.
this actually shows us that rosie has
a great support network from her
siblings because they are lifting her
up in her time where she needed it.
during her
monologue where
she is talking about
her trip going
wrong, we see her
siblings lift her.
however, we only
see her being lifted
because the lights
focus on her and
not the support
beneath her.
this scene reflects the idea
of after any negative
situation, the siblings will
always come together to
help and support them
thorugh everything that
happens.
this also mirrors with the ending
when their mum, Fran dies and
they all actually come back
together to support each other in
this hard time, which is even more
life changing than the other
problematic situations that have
occurred constantly throughout
the play.
fran and Bob dancing
towards the end of the production,
after all of the drama has occurred,
we see Fran and bob, alone centre
stage dancing with each other.
this moment was
extremely powerful
because it shows that
after all of the conflict
that the couple have had
throughout the
production, they still
come together and show
each other love and
affection.
Bob also lifts fran in this scene.
this shows the imagery of
bob wanting to care for
fran and that he wants to
support her even after
everything that has
happened early in the
production.
