They tend to advise against 'self devised' pieces which I think includes working songs like that. It'd probably cause you less stress aswell if you just found a scripted piece, maybe an Australian piece because the schools seem to be focusing on those ???

But isn't their syllybus different to ours ??? lol, how much did they pay for info' they didn't need ?

Yeah, what I meant was that my monologue was barely coherant at 8 minutes (because it was based on the novel 'Mists of Avalon' by Marion Zimmer Bradely and required a little explanation of the story within). If I cut it down to 2 it would just be a jumble of words to those watching. Good luck...

I was thinking of using my HSC monologue but it doesn't really work because of the time limit so I am forced to learn another in the week after my exams end (because drama is of course on the very last day) end. I'm lucky thought because it looks like if I choose properly I can use one monologue...

I agree with this to certain degree but there are still a number of people who don't know what to expect when seeing a play. My response was made under the assumption that you were speaking about an audience who would not be experienced with the plays (which, coincidently were not written...

It seems to me that alot of audiences laugh not because they find a piece funny but because they don't quite know the right way to react to something that seems to take them out of their comfort zone. Having said that though most of the absurdist pieces I have read are quite witty in one way or...

The only colour I used was blue 'cause that was the colour of my pen. I honestly didn't matter

I agree that really sucks. I was sitting here reading the posts about how ppl hate it that Newtown gets a lot of nominations and all I coudl think was "what about the country kids" I'm glad sum1 said it before me. Our class was the strongest it has been in a long time with at least three ppl who...

All three I'm applying for all three very soon, but I haven't chosen for sure which pieces I'm using for the auditions. It's kind of time-consuming and time isn't exacty something I have a lot of right now. I'll have the applications in on time but the actual pieces will have to wait a week or...

Well I don't know if this helps you anymore but in this play, as in many other absurd pieces, suspence and comedy are combined by a number of techniques, the main being pausing (usually depending on the director) and irony (eg, the irony of a hired hitman being disgusted by the slaughter of a...
