On Tuesday's Acting Class, we were with Sharon McKevitt doing a practical assignment to make a play. We were split into groups to make our own. I was working with the two Bens. We called our theatre company Midnight Sun. We made three characters. Our play is going to be a sci-fi fantasy tragedy.
Our first character is Alex James. He's 40 years old. He's the boss of the Greenwich Clock Tower. He's very strict, efficient and idiotic. He can also be selfish because his job is all he cares about. He will do anything to keep his job. He wants to be the "hero", he wants to be the first one to unravel the mystery. David Wight (2nd character) and Alex know each other. Jason Wight (3rd character) works for Alex. Alex got appointed by David. Alex likes Jason because he's a reliable worker. He also likes David because he's a good man but sometimes he can filled with greed and corruption - the lesser of two evils. Alex and Jason's personalities are clashed.
The second character, the main protagonist is Jason Wight. He is 25 years old. He's an employee at the Greenwich Clock Tower. He's perceptive, intelligent and naive. He wants the public to know that the world's changing. Somehow, magically, there are 25 hours in a whole day. David Wight is Jason's brother and Alex is Jason's boss. He hates Alex but he does look up to David. Jason is corrective, he doesn't like the fact that Alex is always wrong, despite him being the boss. He doesn't want anyone showing naivety. No one lacking understanding.
The third and final character, the antagonist, is David Wight. He is 33 years old. He's the current Mayor of London. He's determined, stubborn and devious. What he wants is the opposite of Jason; he wants Jason to be quiet so that the public won't know anything. He's also quite psychopathic. David is Jason's brother, Alex is the boss of Jason and David appointed Alex. Jason looks up to David. He's too naive which is the only thing Jason doesn't like about David. David wants Jason to think more on the government.
The play is set in London today. There are 25 hours in a day. Jason wants the public to know. David wants the truth kept quiet. Alex is completely careless, he just wants his job. Together, they're always trying to overpower each other, see who gains the upper hand. Jason goes to David to publicly speak out.
SPOILER ALERT!
DAVID KILLS JASON
