My character

After Christmas break we were assigned our parts for the upcoming performance of malice. I was cast as Dumelda Twee a character based in reality mirroring Tweedle dumb. the setting was based in a mental hospital where i was being held under around the clock care by nurses.

I was to be accompanied by other characters mirroring those in the well known books . these included Doreen the door mouse Lopsy - the march hare Chessie - the Cheshire cats Madame Miliner - the mad hatter Dr peter - the white rabbit nurse rouge and Blanche - the red and white queen and of course Alice herself. 

alongside me I had my twin Delia Twee , Our lines always seem to be like talking in riddles and we almost seem to bounce off of one another. we are going to aim to work together to create a clear partnership and build on the relationship to translate this across to audience members. 

My character was a fairly straight forward role my self and lauren were almost in our own little world together. our movement was quite free and fluid and from the script its quite clear we can't really function without one another as we answer each others questions and are always in close proximity with one another.


Initially i found it hard to work with my partner as we had some differences prior to this show however as the show got closer we managed to get along quite well and she really helped me a lot with my confidence on stage and bringing my character out. Overall i felt we worked well together and made a fairly convincing performance .
