evaluation of the first performance
last night was our first performance of Enron and i can honestly say as a whole the play went really well and i felt as if the audience enjoyed it as much as we did. Although there where many mistakes in this performance some of which were are fault as the actors but the main problem was the tech mistakes and know one should take a lot of blame for that has the tech for our common ground had an extremely hard job and still did very well, but the tech that night really let us down as i feel our play relies on the technical aspect alot and quite dependent on that working so when it didnt work we still carried on but i feel as if the audience may have been a bit confused about for example for the 9/11 scene the crash noise happened before i even got on stage and that noise was meant to happen at the end of the scene. Another thing i was really disapointed in was that the microphone wasn't turned of back stage and the audience could her everything which probably distracted them from the whole play and i feel as if that the blame should be on us and not as much the tech people even though it was their fault for not turning off the microphone it was us who were making noises and talking in the corridor and that was a complete amateur mistake and shouldve been more proffesional and one final thing was we felt as if the electricity wasnt working but that wasnt because of us it was just the technical stuff involved in such as the balls not turning on etc so were going to change that, having said all this i was still really happy with the piece everybody gave it there all on stage and even though there where a couple of miner mistakes here and there we carried and one and the audience didnt even notices them for example when Sam didnt have a cleanex Olivia used his tie and i thought that was actually better, and it felt awesome at the end when we got a full standing ovation after all that had work the first show was done.
evaluation of the second performance
tonight went extremely well, it was a completley different vibe the second night as it was a 4.30 show and all was moslty filled with are mates from different strands coming to support us. The technical stuff was alot better tonight there was still a couple of mistakes on there part but nothing noticable to the audience watching. I feel like we all put alot of energy in tonight and maybe that was because we had all of our freinds watching us and that helped us alot because of the support we were getting. there was one big mistake that happened today though and that was the physical office sequence when adjei broke the table and hurt his foot, this mistake didnt ruin the scene in anyway though as we all played it off so well that half the people watching didnt even notice anything happened because as soon as it happened i think was toby who just got rid of the broken piece of table straight away and the scene carried on as normal, and sam did extremly well has he had to somehow walk on this table and he did it without loosing character. i also felt as if i was better in tonights performance as i felt really chilled and just wanted to enjoy it and put my all into and i think everyone felt the same tonight.
evaluation of the last performance
the last show is over! tonight was the biggest night for us all because not only was this are last performance but we completely sold out and that put on the extra pressure we needed to make tonight an amazing and unforgettable night and we accomplished that, we all put 100% we just wanted to end it with a high. and there was one scene where the gun still didnt go off for the last shot this happened in the other shows by the way and will just ended up strangling the raptor Sam to death and that was really effective, the only thing that was a bit annoying was that atmosphere wasnt as good as the second show but maybe thats because they were all are mates and the last show had older audience members but haven said that the atmosphere was still good. i have really enjoyed being in this show and there was no other one i would of rather been in and finally all of our hard work and dedication had payed off!
