If anyone's watching for drama, here's an example question.
Analyse how physical skills were used to engage the audience at one key moment in the performance ( 6 marks)
Physical skills were used in this scene to engage the audience at one key moment in the performance and establish the characters’ relationship. This was when Mickey and Eddie both sat on the floor. This is when they are talking about naughty words, and they sit down to talk further. The physical act of sitting down establishes to the audience that they are ultimately on the same level as people, as their stage status is exactly the same. This also shows the equal relationship that Mickey and Eddie have with each other, as they both mirror each other’s actions, showing similarity and symmetry within their personalities; linking to the introduction where the audience is told that they are twins. This is continued throughout the scene, as when Eddie asks Mickey if he will be his best friend and moves onto his knees, Mickey does the same. This physical act shown to the audience is a common theme throughout the play as well, because the motif that even though they are from different backgrounds and upbringings, they will still always be twins and have a connection. Some may see this as the director’s intention of a moral being presented to the audience through the idea that every human has similarities and are all equal no matter where they’re from. The twins, through their actions, can deliver this to the audience.

This is not in London. The actors in London are much much better than these ones when I saw it early this year(2012). Made me laugh and cry throughout the play.

[@tyrellpayne5378]

This is bad acting. Way to over exagerated

[@JillYva]

I thinks it's more under exaggerated compared to the one I've seen but that's cause it's a different interpretation

[@horizonaefer8311]

+tyrell payne your an idiot

[@horizonaefer8311]

+tyrell payne your an idiot

[@David-oq6sn]

tyrell payne theatre acting is much more exaggerated than movie acting. It's a completely different thing. They are actually acting very well.

[@eloisewilderspin8679]

theyre meant to be 7 year olds, over exaggerated with everything

[@rachbacon]

worst scouse accent ive heard!!!!
