Reflection on Domestic Violence act

For this act we were assigned into groups and the members of my group were me, Oliver, William and Josephine. We were given a scenario about a wife being abused by her husband and her friend was trying to help her but then the wife kept ignoring when the friend gave suggestions. The roles were:

Wife- Josephine
Wife's friend- Kalyani
Husband- Oliver
Husband's friend- William

It starts off with the husband and his friend complaining about the abusive husband wife. Then it cross cuts to a thought tracking of Josephine before she meets her friend(me) at the cafe. Then the friend comes in and they start to talk. The friend notices that the wife has a bruise on her lip. Then Josephine talks about her her husband abusing her. Then it cross cuts to a flashback of Josephine being abused by her husband. Then the cross cutting ends and scene goes back to the cafe The wife's friend suggests her solutions but the wife keeps ignoring her. Then there is a cross cutting of the husband at the bar and then the friend tells the husband to divorce her. Then the husband returns home and abuses her wife and files a divorce.

What were our successes?

• As a group we collaborated to make a script that was followed properly
• We made use of though tracking and cross cutting during our play
• As a group we stayed in character throughout the whole play
• We used props to give an impact on the audience
• We used sound effects to give a better visualization of the setting.

What was challenging?

• It was challenging when we had to think of how to use thought tracking and cross cutting 
• It was challenging when we had to make our plot more creative

Improvements:

• During the play we should have faced the audience
• During the play we had some issues with stage combat
• one of the members of the group didn't forget one of their lines at one point.
