Wednesday 4th July
This is the video of the extract as I performed it in lesson for my final piece for Sarah Kane. I think that it was fairly successful in portraying the intensity and anger of The Soldier, but in the moment I lost that conversational and offhand tone I'd experimented with. If I were to perform this again I would incorporate more of that element in the speech as I think it suited his character well and would be more unsettling and fit with Kane's shocking style. However, out of the context of the scene I feel it was still effective as a monologue and exemplified the message that I think Kane was putting across; about challenging the social norm in our society of ignoring the awful crimes in distant wars because they do not directly affect us and making us acknowledge these issues are really, in all their horror.
