"Family 2.0" by Walter Wykes

Before I start discussing about my experiences through British Arts I'll start off by giving a brief plot summary about our piece. This scene is titled "Family 2.0" by Walter Wykes. The fact that it's called "Family 2.0" essentially details what the scene is about. The two characters are the wife and her "husband" who is actually a stranger who passes by the house on a daily basis and figures that he should try something new with a new life and family. As the wife is tidying up the finishing touches in her living room the husband enters and she is confused and terrified of what is going on. She tries to threaten him by claiming that she is going to call the police but her "husband" never shies away because of his determination for her to come around and change her mind. As the scene progresses he does things that her husband has never done for her: reciting to her a poem that he has written and bringing her flowers. These acts combined with the qualities that her husband does not posses ends up changing her mind about this man. So in the end her mind about him completely changes and she is convinced to accept him as her new husband.

For our performance, the only thing that we did differently was having the wife (played by me) watching TV as her "husband" (played by Eric) walked in. Other than that we remained true to the script and only edited out extraneous lines.
