Group Production of Robert Thomas' 8 Women

Group Production of Robert Thomas' 8 Women Our production of Robert Thomas' "8 women" was a result of the never

ending effort of all cast and crew members. All being aware that a

production could not be successful with only one person's input, every

member of our drama class was part of a cohesive community.

Earlier on in the year we, as a class had to determine a play that was

suitable for a cast of "7 female" actors. As you can already see a

problem had arisen and when the script "8 women" was suggested, all

members of the class agreed and with a little editing and refinement

the script was ideal. As a class we watched the French film entitled

"8 femmes" and were certain that we could be greatly successful in

creating our own interpretation of the script.

Before we even began, the director asked us to decide whether we

wanted to have an acting role or a backstage role. After the rough job

descriptions of each role were briefly explained to us, we were asked

to research the job of our choice and present our findings in an

interview.

After getting my job as the front of house manager, I began developing

my understanding of the duties and responsibilities involved. Firstly,

reading through the script gave me great insight into what the story

was about. I began developing idea, after idea as to what the foyer

area; the posters; the programs; and the tickets should look like.
