Grass is defiantly on of my favourite scenes that I have, I think this is because I can bring a lot to the sketch.
I am in this scene with Liam.
The title 'Grass' tells us that this scene is about someone being 'grassed up' (someone telling someone with authority, usually the police, on someone about something they have done).
Liam and I came to a decision that this man is grassing up a close neighbour. This neighbour had vandalised/damaged another persons car who also lives down their street.
We thought this would be a good crime to base it around as it is not such a big crime but as the person is so close to them (living and friends wise) he and she are both very paranoid with the consequences of their actions.
The character in this piece seems like quite a scatty and paranoid person. She quite clearly has authority over the character who is a boyfriend or husband. She shows this by the way she cuts him off when he is trying to talk.
"what did you do that for?"
"I thought-"
"what do you think's going to happen to you?"
Also she implies that he is stupid and he does not retaliate and just takes it on the chin.
"...I'm not stupid"
"Well you are but ok..."
With this character I feel that I can bring an element of myself to her. I could bring my urban voice more to the performance and youth like mannerisms and physicality.
I really enjoyed playing this person as I felt it was an easier character to play than the others. But as I fount certain elements of this scene easier than others, I fount others hard, for example: I got given the stage directions to be pacing up and down, but I would either get too rapped up in the pacing I would forget to focus on lines or vise versa.
