all the blood in my veins radio play

Synopsis

The play is about the story of Viola, a fourteen year old girl, with responsibilities beyond her age.

The play introduces the family and the main character and then follows her through her everyday life. They use monologues to further explain what is going on and show the main characters feelings.

This helped me with my play as it showed a radio play about a problem family with a teenager who has to take on responsibility early.

Natural dialogue makes it more realistic and believable. It is a Family situation and could help develop my play.

The play would evoke sympathy in the audience when hearing about her life. It contains Teen friendships and relationships.

Technical elements

·        The use of telephone voice is a good idea to use.

·        The transitions show the passing of time.

·        The use of music to further the emotion

·        The use of monologues explains how she feels in the situation And helps established characters.

·        Good use of microphone to show the distance between characters.

·        Also the change in frequency means that you understand that you are on the phone.

·        Use of sound effects to make transitions is effective.

 This play links to my play because it shows the problems of a teenager in her personal life.

Also, her responsibilities at a young age like in my play.

The characters will help me develop my own because it shows teenagers in real life situations.

characterisation of Chris in my play

Characterisation: robbie in Dirty Dancing relates to my character of Chris in my play

 

 Robbie finds out about a woman who has been seeing is pregnant, but he refused to acknowledge any responsibility and he accused her of sleeping with lots of other men, any one of whom might be the father. In fact, Penny has been faithful to Robbie during their relationship and knows for sure that she became was impregnated by him. Robbie broke off his relationship with Penny and refused to help her with her pregnancy or an abortion. Penny decided to have an abortion, but did not have the $250 (1963 dollars) to pay for it.

In the next scene, Baby confronted Robbie in the resort hotel’s dining room and asked him to give Penny the $250 for the abortion. Robbie refused, saying “some people count and some people don’t.”

The character of Robbie relates perfectly to my character Chris as he goes out with lots of women and believes himself better than them. he does not consider any of their feelings or the consequences of his actions on the woman.

chris is the same in my play and the reaction to the pregnancy parallels Robbie's with them both saying that they don't believe they are the father and it could be anyones baby. This attitude of Robbie enhanced my character of Chris and made his reactions more realistic and emotional for the girl in my own play.
