sex, mirrors and rhinoceroses

Double drama today. Twas interesting, to say the least. Really, the entire first lesson consisted of discussing and arguing and yelling about a play to do for our Group Production. Ms Mace gave us two choices to start with - Cloud Street by Tim Winton adapted by Nick Enright and Rhinoceros, an absurdist play by Eugene Ionesco. She explained that there was more theory for Rhinoceros and that could give us more opportunities in our report, but that Cloud Street could have a better audience response, but the sex scenes would have to be changed.

And the screaming.
"LION KING LION KING"
"How come they get to do a fairytale next year?"
"There are 12 roles in the Lion King, you know that?"
"STAR WARS: THE MUSICAL"
"Can we do a group devised?"
"One time I saw the Lion King without singing"
"I want to do the Lion King"

"WE ARE NOT DOING THE LION KING!"

And so on and so forth. After collecting a list of five issues for us, Ms Mace mentioned a play called Mirror Mirror by Sue Murray, about eating disorders. Personally, I don't know what we're going to do. I don't like the idea of Rhinoceros (even though I don't know anything about it), however we were told it'd be easier to get a higher mark in.


Gah. At the rate we're going, I doubt we'll even have a play.
