What key themes do you need to include in your three minutes script from the play, your group has chosen to study.

Our group needs to include the following in our three to five minute play:

  • Modernised Script: Our play needs to contain modern themes however at the same time we must not go to far but it needs to have themes which also reflects our society in the 21st Century to the current date.
  • Tone and voice: We need to have a great deal of enthusiasm in what we are saying in the script and not just reading. Because it is a performance it needs to be dramatic and must contain a great deal of tone in our voices.
  • Realisticness: The play needs to sound like something which can be performed and something which does make sense.
