This blog is more or less based on how i developed my character Andy through out rehersels. At the very start i saw andy as a very common army soldier, you know tall, short hair and does what his told. I tried this but it lacked something to make him diffrent and stay in people’s minds long after he died.

After some more script writing and some other characters were produced Andy had changed into some one with a more personal look on things and a struggle to choose what he thinks is right and what is right. Over this time I first saw andy standing hunched over but Miss O’shannesy put a stop to that right away and he had to be tall. The hardest thing about playing and develpoing Andy was being angry. I’ve never writen up or pertrayed a character in an angry moment. all the characters i’ve pretrayed before hand had all been happy and over the top. I went for a physically agressive sort of character but his stamping and over angry movments did not help later in the play so i cut it down to the fact he would only be agressive when it was about something he really cared for.

His precious list and his inner thought being two of them.
I went and also created a background to Andy. Though it has little relvenace to our performance i would like to write it out at a later date.
