sigh!Well,it's time to get back to reality.There will be no more theatre class after today.
This morning the play started roughly around 10.30am and it went smooth but there were mistakes here and there but overall it was alright.I was wearing a wired mic and it was fantastic.My mic was the only mic that functioned so well that even when i was whispering,ppl can still hear me.hahhaha...it's abit dangerous actually because if i forgot to switch off the mic when not on stage then everyone in the hall can hear me talking..hehe..
There was 1 scene of mine that was between Juan Tomas and Kino which was played by me and Kamal.In this scene normally during practices, i would always use a loud voice and sometimes shout but just now i can't because the mic worked so good on me that i must use a low tone of voice if not the sound of my voice in the speakers would cracked.I couldn't feel the part that i was playing.Well it's okay for me as long as the play is done but I'm just saying that i cn't feel the character that i was playing because i can't really use my real loud voice that's all.huhu..
O yea,there was another scene that i forgot to take off my watch..hahah....i wasn't wearing it earlier but i wore it accidentally without having to think that i have the last scene coming..hahaha..then when the lights was not on me i took the watch off..hahahha..funny siak!
I'm gonna miss working with the cast,props ,back drop and all the peeps in the TESL 5A & D 2008/2009 play production.They were fantastic.It's been great working with Liang ,the director.He is one dedicated director.He took full responsibility when it came to theatre.I am happy to have him with us.It was a good choice to choose him as our director ,no doubt about that.He has the experience and he had also proven it to us for the pass 3 months working together.

Juan Tomas's lines in the play:

Kino~.....
Jt~You must be vry careful.
K~.....
Jt~I was talking about the price.
K~.....
JT~You must be very careful to see they that they do not cheat you.
K~....
Jt~How can we know what is a fair price?We don't even know what the pearl buyers get for the pearl in another place.
K~....
Jt~Before you were born,the elders thought of a way to get more money for their pearls.An agent would collect their pearls ,sell them in the capital n collect only his share of the profit.
K~....
Jt~They did chose a man and was sent to the capital but he vanished.Same goes to the second man and the pearls?The pearls were lost.Then,they gave up the whole idea and went back to the old way.
K~....
NExt scene....brotherly talk (Juan tomas n kino)
Kino~What must i do?They are cheats.
JT~It is hard to know but we do know that we hv cheated from birth til the overcharge of our coffins.BUt we survived.You hv not only defied the pearl buyers but the whole structure ,the whole way of life and i am afraid for you.
K~What are we to fear but starvation.
Jt~That we must all fear brother but suppose you are correct-suppose your pearl is off great value,do think then the game is over?
K~What do you mean?
Jt~I don't know but i'm worried.It's a new ground you are walking on,you don't know the way to the capital.
K~.......
Jt~Yes,that you must do but i wonder brother,i wonder if you'll find it any difference in the capital.Here you hv your friends,you hv me your brother there?!!you'll hv no one.
K~What else am i suppose to do.My son your nephew must go to school.My friends will protect me.
Jt~(Pause)So long as their not in danger or discomfort to them brother.PLs..pls go with God.
(Jt walks away.)
Scene:Kino's hut was burnt down.
Jt~Apolonia,why are you running?
Apolonia~It's Kino.
Jt~What?come2.
Jt~Kino,my brother.Apolonia,c to the door don't let anyone enter.Now,brother tell me what happened?
K~....
Jt~Who?
K~.....
Jt~It's the pearl.There's devil in this pearl.You should hv sold it and buy peace of yourself.
K~
Jt~I will hide you.
K~....
Jt~I will protect you.Apolonia,don't even whisper that Kino is here.
Scene~Lying to the neighbours
Neighbours~.....
Neighbours~O..it's Juan Tomas.
N~Juan Tomas,do you know where is Kino?
Jt~I don't know.I'm looking for him too.I think he has gone south along the cost to escape the evil that was upon them.Kino would not leave the sea.Perhaps they hv found another boat.Apolonia is ill with grief.
N~In this wind to the sea?
Jt~Kino is gone then.
Scene:giving Kino the sack when he is about to go
Jt~Here brother,i've borrowed this from our neighbours.There's red beans,gourd of rice,dried pepper and a block of salt.Where will you go brother?
K~...
Jt~Avoid the shore.The men in the city will be looking for you.Do u still hv the pearl?
K~....
Jt~You must go now.The wind is good there will be no tracks..........Won't you give up the pearl?
K~....
