-SAFRI ANUGERAH ILLAHI BIN RAMLE-
As the
director of the play, I need to fully understand the script and each character.
Therefore, I will read the script over and over again as I don’t want to
misunderstand any part of the play.
To attract
the audience, I planned on how actors should act out their part dramatically
and seriously. Besides, I think some special effects also crucial in attracting
audience. I might consider about the usage of special effects such as fake
blood for fighting scene of white gas in suspense scene.
As a
director, I will try to win others' hearts so they can give me full
cooperation. I hope that they will, as I
am, open for any criticism and I hope that we can work together as a team.
To act as a
king in the drama, I need to read a lot to fully understand the script. I need
to imagine that this act is really happened to me as I need to act like I am an
insane king. At first, I imagine on how am I going to act my part, then I will
revise the script and memorize it. I know that I need to pronounce every single
word clearly as it would help the audience to understand my role.
I did some research on how to act
in a drama such as how to make sure that the audience will get attracted to my
act. I have two roles in the drama. First, I will act as a king and secondly, I
will act as a servant. As I will play a role of a male, I look up for
information about how to act as a male character. I consulted my friends on
what attire that I should wear to suit my character. Besides that, my role in
the drama required me to act as a noble king of France who pitied a princess that
was disowned by her father.
To produce a great act, I also need to learn how to
deliver a good expression so the audience can feel what I am trying to deliver.
I will try to improve my voice projection for the drama since all actors will not
be given any microphone. Apart from that, I will give my best in collaborating
with other actors, stage managers, directors and all people who involve in the
drama so that we will produce a meaningful drama.

In
a King Lear play I act for two roles. First role is as Cornwall. Cornwall is an
antagonist character. He is Regan’s husband. I had done some researches about
Cornwall. As I want to make sure my act is successfully done, I learnt how to
speak and act like a man. Besides, to improve my pronunciation I had referred
to a dictionary. I also had study a lot about Cornwall characteristic so I can
understand well the character.
These are the links that helped me a lot in understanding the drama.

For the second role I am going to act as the
doctor. Doctor is the minor character in King Lear play. As I always watching
film that involved a doctor character I can relate it for this play. Apart from
that, my family member also is a doctor from him I know how the doctor act and
behave. What that I can conclude here is doctor is a caring, responsible and
brilliant person.

As King Lear, I need to improve my acting
skill. Firstly, I need to read script every day. I also need to be brave and
learn more about vocabulary and the way how to pronounce my lines. Then, I also
need to be brave to receive critics from my friend.
As an actor, I need to learn lines and do the
rehearsal. As an actor, I also need to research and discuss with other members
how to make a plays more attractive and interesting. I also will lend a hand if
there need help to manage the performance area, costumes and props.

Remarks
|
|
From the original play
|
The modified play
|
||
Gloucester
|
A Duke.
-
A
Duke has his own dukedom to rule.
Textual evidence:
GLOUCESTER:
What mean your graces? Good my friends, consider
You are my guests: do me no foul play, friends.
|
A rich naïve father.
|
This change is made because we want to relate this story
with the current situation. When people are blinded by wealth and caused them
to betray their own family.
|
Gloucester eyes had been blinded by Cornwall And Regan. This even happened in his own house. This is because Gloucester helped King Lear to flee. This happened because
his son Edmund betrayed him by telling Cornwall, Regan and Goneril about
Gloucester’s action. Edmund wanted to inherit his father’s wealth.
|
His son betrayed him by telling his father’s opponent in
business about his father project and plans. This is because he was
influenced by the wealth that been offered by his father’s opponent. Because
of that, his father becomes a poor person.
|
The theme remains the same, namely betrayal. The only
change is the modified play tells us about betrayal that happened nowadays.
The story line is changed but we still stick on the theme which clearly
mention about a son who betrayed his own father.
|
|
Cornwall
|
Regan’s husband plucked out Gloucester’s eyes.
|
The opponent who wants to grab all the wealth.
|
This change is made because it shows that there is an evil
character that will destroy the main character.
|
Regan
|
Cornwall’s wife. Cruel woman who encouraged her husband to
pluck out Gloucester eyes.
|
The accomplice who is the backbone.
|
This change is made because it shows that there is a
character who provoked the bad character to become more evil.
