Records of my life: A ‘play’ on words

March 6, 2017 by Holly Patricia Marshall   

I have an idea! *cheers!*

IN BRIEF: A small number of anecdotes all responding to the idea of love and relationships be that in a romantic or family/friend way.

WHERE THE IDEA CAME FROM:

* Inspired by Flickbook Theatre Company. I very much like their use of staging and props such as using projectors and ‘shabby-chic’ decoration. Their stories are honest, and although light-hearted, can also have hard hitting undertones.

* My diary entries that I have kept for many years.

* Listening to music and having the realisation that music influences everything I do: my fashion sense, how I spend  my money, my collection.

WHAT ARE THE STORIES?

* Funny, fast paced and maybe emotional at times but all in light spirit.

* My own experiences – Tinder, Leeds festival, high school, first boyfriend turned out to be gay

* Social media/societies view on love?

HOW ARE THEY GOING TO BE TOLD?

* Music is a central theme. My record player on stage, playing songs that match the mood/theme.

* Home videos on screens – projections

* Strings with photos of my friends/family on.

* Overhead projector – telling the story using shadow puppetry.

THINGS TO CONSIDER/NOTES

* Post-it notes

* Left/right side of the brain

* Time line of my life

* Love shack

* Intimate feel

* Diary on stage

* Hand outs – lyrics, answers to social media questions?
