Acting In the Class

Previouly, we had a class using the reference book--"Now Read On" to have a clearer knowledge about the play. Dr Edwin asked us to do an activity with a partner. That was referring to page 28, the short dialogues between two characters, identify the characters and the mood of the dialogue. The following is the dialogue:

What are you writing?
Nothing.

[They drink.]

Not writing?

No.

Why not?
Nothing to say.
Doesn't stop others.Written out?
Yes.

[They drink.]

Now what are you writing?

Nothing.

(Edward Bond Bingo)

What do you feel when you first read this dialogue?

Some of my coursemates acted it as teacher-student,some as mother-daughter, some as lover and some as sisters.

Well, for Hidayah Bareed and I,when we were asked about the characters we acted, the answers made the audiences (other coursemates) burst into laughters. Because we were acting as Paris Hilton and a a police officer. And I was acting as emotionally unstable Paris Hlton.The idea came from the recently news about Paris Hilton's jailed life.I had fun times to act the dialogue with Hidayah Bareed though it was just a short dialogue.

However, Dr.Edwin's answer was really a shocking one which again we burst into laughters. It was the dialogue between two chickens indeed.

What an unforgettable lesson!!
