Stags And Hens (Modern Classics)

Product Information

The monologue itself isn't actually a monologue, its more of a duologue but with the other characters lines cut out of it. So the first thing I had to do was to cut it up and make sure it made sense.Similar to my As You Like It monologue, we are aware that Bernadette is talking to people but its not necessary that these characters need to be present at the time. Carol is the main character in this section of the scene, and its mainly Bernadette telling her all about this guy whom 'tried to get off with me'. Carol although described as innocent is still just as loud and feisty as Bernadette. Innocences means nothing when it comes to Carol describing the guy who tried chatting her up: "I had to Berni. He made me feel ill, honest. I hate ugly people!" http://www.lyttonplayers.co.uk/Previous%20Productions/Stags%20and%20Hens/Characters.htm Like I said, I performed this monologue really recently to my voice class, and annoyingly it went so, so much better than it did for this assessment! I felt like the accent was a lot clearer and I sustained it throughout the entire monologue better than I had done for Sally. But I also made Bernadette a much larger and louder character! I was too reserved and going into Issie when performing it for Sally, but for Karen I became the character a lot more. I think this was because I had the class as my audience. I know I definitely have an element of wanting to make people laugh and because I'am relatively confident with doing this within my class, I felt like I could really just go for it and really over do the accent and the drunkeness and the talking to the midget. It also helped a lot that I got a lot of audience reactions from doing all this...the monologue is meant to be funny so it helped that I got the class laughing; although it did put me off my lines for a second or so! I was so annoyed with how my performance of this monologue went in comparison to when I performed it for Karen, but I think I know understand that I work better when working off of people. In this case, I had the audience to work off, as soon as they were laughing and reacting, I knew I could go further with it. But with Sally, I had no reaction (and I can expect to get no reaction from a proper audition situation) which gave me no indication as to make more of it! I think this counts for me outside of acting as well, which is interesting. A great hag do idea for all genders is to throw a Murder Mystery dinner. This is another great option for getting everyone involved, letting the drinks flow and allowing everyone to get creative with the costumes. If you think you might feel like you’ve missed out on having separate events, then you could be super extra and just do both!

Whether your sten group are beer drinkers or more the G&T kind, there are plenty of beverage-centric tours and experiences for you to enjoy together. It was originally written in 1978 for television and drama students of the then- Manchester Polytechnic, as an in-house television production. It was first published as a script in 1986 in a collection with Educating Rita and Blood Brothers. [1] One of the best ideas for a Sten Party is to book a weekend away with all the stags and hens together. This could be booking a party house in the UK, or hopping on a flight to somewhere warm to party on the beach as one big friendship group. Brian, Liz and family look forward to welcoming you for a stay you won’t forget at Lothian Glamping. For a hen party weekend, to remember book your stay today! Gift vouchers are also available. His first play was 'Keep Your Eyes Down Low' written in 1971. His first success was a play about The Beatles called 'John, Paul, George, Ringo and Bert' which opened in the West End in 1974. His best-known works are 'Educating Rita' (which was made in to a film in 1983), 'Shirley Valentine' (filmed in 1989), and the musical 'Blood Brothers'. Russell has written songs since the early 1960s, and has written the music to most of his plays and musicals.

She says her friend Amelia has a friend called Ellie who is in a house share in London. Ellie shares with a bunch of girls, and one of the girls told her she had just been on a hen do in Amsterdam, where the stag do was there too, the whole thing was joint. They’re a mixed social group of people who all know each other, so decided to do one big event all together. One for the bride & groom who are adrenaline junkies, why not book a group indoor sky diving session?

The evening takes a sharp turn away from the merriment, and in Willy Russell’s unmistakable style, the play combines comedy with acrid truth, and hits off brilliantly the herd instinct driving both sexes onward and bed-ward. Eddy (Teddy Scotchmer) is palpably disillusioned and on edge, the captain of a local football team that is also keen to be protective of his peers. That said, for a twenty-first century discerning audience there’s something a tad outdated and, dare I say it, unimaginative about a woman’s future seemingly hanging in the balance, only to be suddenly placed on relatively more solid ground by a man who swoops in and sets her straight by telling her what to do. Aside from that, it is, by and large, fun as befits the setting (of the nightclub, that is, not the conveniences therein) of this energetic show.Thirdly, consider whether you and your partner would be happy to forgoe the traditional single-sex stag and hen parties and instead just have one big event together.

Pit your female friends against your partner’s mates with an assault course. The guys won’t know what they’re in for! You could make this super competitive by all wearing Team Bride or Team Stag t-shirts. She is played by a tall actress which makes the whole relationship with the midget so much more comical Find sources: "Stags and Hens"– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( July 2012) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)

About Me

Secondly, the best thing to do to help you decide should I have a Sten Do is to ask your other half if they could imaging having a joint stag and hen celebration. The play is set in a trashy 1970s disco in Liverpool, England. The action is mainly in the gents and women's toilets of the disco where both Linda (The Bride) and Dave (The Groom) have decided to hold their stags and hens nights, not knowing that their other half is at the same place. When Linda's ex-boyfriend, Peter, arrives this causes an uproar between Linda and Dave's friends and when Linda's hen party get a say in all whats happening the two groups gang together to stop Linda taking up the offer of an escape with her ex Peter she is then forced with a difficult decision – to stay or to go.

All food is prepared on the premises daily, from the pizza dough right down to the home-made tiramisu. Both the husband and wife to be hold their stag and hen parties in the same pub. This means that the play is full of alcohol, mistakes, men and woman. It's a really fun and witty play!! What to do for your Sten Party or at your Sten Weekend is completely up to you and your partner, and you can have a lot of fun choosing the activities. You’ll all get kitted out in fetching jumpsuits (imagine the group selfies) and then you’ll learn how to skydive in a huge air tunnel tube indoors. I wanted to know talk to you about the suitability of this monologue for auditions. And to start us off, no. It's really not suitable for an audition. Although the gender and age range of Bernadette is right for my acting age, and the length of the piece is just about suitable. They don't like you doing an accent; unless you can do it word perfect! - which I cannot! I still performed this monologue because I know my lecturer allowed me to do an accented piece, but I understand that this would be one that I could never use for an audition. The accent I do is ok, I feel confident doing it now after working a lot on it, however I know it's not perfect and no where near strong enough to perform for an audition. In terms of how fun and up beat the monologue is, I think it would be a really strong audition piece for me (excluding the accent issue!) For auditions, they like you showing yourself but also showing a little bit more. People see me as fairly quiet and show, but once you get to know me, I'm a little bit more confident and louder, perhaps a little bit like Bernadette. This piece allows me to go wild a little bit, and although I don't like doing that an awful lot on stage, I can do it!
