Given Circumstances
Today we got into our groups for the first time. We first read through our script and started to work our the relationships and dynamics between the different characters. Then we started a mindmap of all of the Given Circumstances in the scene, including things like relationships and situations of the characters.
Characters:
Otway: struggling playwright, the girls think low of him and have little respect for him. He's artistic and thinks very highly of himself, he is a man trying to take charge in a room full of strong and confident women.
Mrs. Betterton: a mature woman, married to the director of the company, strong however she is aging, a fading flower of sorts.
Mrs Farley has been discarded by the King and Nell is his new lover. This must create a lot of jealousy and broken pride in Mrs Farley, what is interesting is that Nell is in fact the one who buys the petticoat and helps Mrs Farley out at the very end of the scene.
