Intrigue <cont’d-2>

April 16, 2008 at 7:45 pm (half-hour, intrigue, play)

I wrote the end to Intrigue! But more on that later. I’m going to talk about our sit-in guests for this week class – students from EN3271 (our senior class)!

Well, it was kind of intimidating at first not expecting them there and not knowing what to expect from them. But in the end, they provided some really unique and valuable insights into our plays. It’s the “fresh-point-of-view” thing I guess. This week’s reading session was much spiced up by our guests, giving the characters in our plays new dimensions and flair. They were animated in their delivery, which brought a larger dose of cheer and fun to our usual Wednesday afternoons. Dang! Another “made-me-wish-I-wasn’t-graduating-this-semester” instance.

Anyway, Intrigue ends with two deaths: Seng and a gunshot death. The final Act reveals background information to the Act just before it, giving new meaning to performed actions and lines. All this while, I am still struggling to make each character properly defined through their actions and dialogue in the play! That last point is an everlasting conquest, making my playwriting very very tedious indeed.

Less words here, more thoughts to my final play. The module is really coming to an end what with only 1 lesson left at Mr Sulaiman’s place. Sigh… Oh well, looking forward to the last lesson and everyone’s work of art =)
