Cat on a Hot Tin Roof

My first attempt I think was actually I better one, it just wanted the whole thing and I didn’t do it in order yet it still made sense so I’m not complaining. I got my inspiration from the clip:

Tennessee Williams was the writer of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.”

Who is Tennessee Williams?

Tennessee Williams, original name Thomas Lanier Williams, was born March 26, 1911, Columbus, Miss U.S and died Feb. 25, 1983, New York City. Best known as an American dramatist whose plays reveal a world of human frustration in which sex and violence underlie an atmosphere of romantic gentility.

It make it more of a challenge for us, we had to perform with an american accent.

What is the play about?

A young couple struggling to get through a gathering at the husband’s family estate. Brick as he’s called doesn’t love his wife Maggie anymore and are being put on the spot by his father, Big Daddy who is dying on cancer and with his temper demands to know why they hadn’t given him grandchildren unlike Brick’s brother Gooper and his fertile wife Mae.

Strengths

I believe I did pull the accent off quite well considering I haven’t done many at all .

I decided not to move like how Maggie did in the clip because it felt more natural for me to stay seated.

Just the little gesture here and there in order to show she wants to look at her husband yet he clearly didn’t want to look at her and she doesn’t know where else to look.

Manged to make both make sense even though one of them wasn’t exactly in order.

Improvements

Should have been more confident performing it in front of the group. (However I did better on my own how I like it.)

I could have added in some movement to make it seem as if someone was right there but as i said before it made more sense to stay seated and the main thing I wanted to nail was the accent.

Maybe have a drink to show how Brick didn’t take it back like in the original clip.

When I was younger, I never thought an actor would be a career path I would have chosen; if someone came up to me and said I'd be an actor when starting college I would have just laughed it off and never took that person seriously. However now my past self has gone completely out the window and all I have to say to her is good riddance!
