Intial Scene Response

When I first received my two scenes I wanted at least one of them to be different and to shock the audience, so I decided to use my scene with Ruby where I receive the second alleviating letter. I decided that I would hold Ruby around throat to add an extra bit of shock value, at the time forgetting the idea of naturalism. As we progress with this scene I became less and less convinced that this slightly melodramatic idea would work in the given circumstances. The other thing I worked on was the last scene of the whole play where Nora leaves Torvald in this scene I was acting alongside Sukey. For this I tried the emotional recall, only I found myself becoming physically sick with the overpowering emotions and therefore decided to play down the genuine emotional attachment I had to scene like that, on the advice of Tim.
