Throughout the unit we have been learning more about the East end which is interesting as we have to understand the background and scenery in which we are meant to be performing in. At the start of the play we got assigned to do some research about the East end above are some photos of what i did. I learned quite a lot about the East end and also realised i have visited a few places there such as the thrift shop which brings a lot of youth and urban culture to the East end. Brick lane Market also ties in with our play as i found out it is a busy crowded, bubbly and excited area, this is what i believe comes across in the play and the characters.
East End Tales is a series of nine stories inspired by photos and news articles from local papers in east London.It was written as part of a Half Moon Young People’s Theatre Scriptworks project for Mulberry School for Girls in Tower Hamlets, London. The story ideas were developed by a group of Year 10 Bengali girls over a number of weeks through a mixture of improvisation and written exercises, under the guidance of co-tutors Julia voce and Fin Kennedy. Fin Kennedy then selected the best material, expanded it and wrote it up into a lyrical style. It was first performed on Saturday 15th May 2005 at half moon young peoples Theatre. Throughout the play We can see a variety of harsh stories ranging from drug abuse to domestic violence, loneliness and East End slang. By doing this research i have understood my character and tale much more as i get to know how to talk with more of a cockney accent and to act tough and bold as this is what is what East London comes across as.
