English Journal Week 4

This week, is our last chance to get the things done. So our team's script was fixed, so we printed the script and started to act and read (not only read). Clayton fitted with his character which are Tybalt, and Friar Lawrence. He read his line clearly and he also used an expression on it. And me, i was the Capulet and Prince, at first it was so hard to fit in with my character which was Capulet, because Capulet has to be like bossy and irritable but wise, and the problem of my other character (Prince) was the line, it was so long and the language was hard, so i decided to remember the Capulet lines first. Here's my line and Clayton's:


TYBALT
This, by his voice, should be a Montague.
Fetch me my rapier, boy. What dares the slave?
Now, by the stock and honour of my kin,
To strike him dead, I hold it not a sin.

CAPULET
Why, how now, kinsman! wherefore storm you so?

TYBALT
Uncle, this is a Montague, our foe,
A villain that is hither come in spite,
To scorn at our solemnity this night.

CAPULET
Young Romeo is it?

TYBALT
'Tis he, that villain Romeo.

CAPULET
Content thee, gentle coz, let him alone;
He bears him like a portly gentleman;
And, to say truth, Verona brags of him
To be a virtuous and well-govern'd youth:

TYBALT
It fits, when such a villain is a guest:
I'll not endure him.

CAPULET
He shall be endured:
You'll not endure him! God shall mend my soul!
You'll make a mutiny among my guests!

TYBALT
Why, uncle, 'tis a shame.


CAPULET
Go to, go to;
You are a saucy boy: is't so, indeed?
Be quiet, or--
I'll make you quiet.

TYBALT
I will withdraw: but this intrusion shall
Now seeming sweet convert to bitter gall.

The story is like, so we sit on the chair (me and clayton), clayton heard a noise that is familiar, and he wants to catch the owner of the noise (romeo). But then i forbid him to catch romeo, Clayton and me then had an argument and in the end of the argument i say "Be quiet, or I'll make you quiet. " And then he succumbs and went out.

This is a picture of us rehearsing our play:

Romeo, which was Yohanes also had improvised from his last act, he showed an expression on the lines he said, also he put some actions like when he wanted to marry Juliet (balcony scene). But on the other scene he still didn't know what to do.

Bryna was good, he reads her lines clearly, but she still didn't know what to do with the expression. She just need to put more expression, and remember her lines.

Tio was very good, she knows where to put the expression, where to push the voice on line, and she also a good narrator, she just need to remember her lines.

The last thing is the setting, the setting was good, party-balcony-Friat Lawrence's house, we know what props that we are going to use, but the only problem is... the transition when we change the setting, it was hard, because everyone was like lazy to put the props in and away. I think that was all the things that we've done this week. Thank you
