F- Master status- sucessful jumps, B- bumbling idiot- less sucessful jumps. Adds comedy element and shows status immidately. Jump and sneeze. </p> <p>F could have quite a booming voice, with strong Itialian tones -need to work on that (perhaps have a look at some Godfather films for ideas)- if B then had a less sonorous voice with Italian tones, it would also establish athourity.</p> <p>When it comes to changing B, if we have several she-devils to come and dress F in appropriate attire (i.e. Hat, Cloak, Wand etc.) they can hold the curtain whilst F does the spell. As it is quite difficult to do by self. Also adds to humour of the scene. Pos song of the spell? </p> <p>After 2nd time B shuffles out of curtain to be replaced by plasiticine model of B. B uses high-pitched squeaky voice to indicate smallness. </p> <p>When inserting B into P, perhaps change from Magician to Doctor using she devils-long rubber gloves for F(which are dusty with coal) Then make motions and gestures that indicate that it is a bit of a struggle- with she devils in the background making appropriate noises. </p> <p>Comedy/Dramatic tension must be kept up during that scene. Need to work on that.</p> <p>'Get in there my son' should be said in a rather football-ish lout manner looking under the covers where B has been inserted. 'Congratulations' should be said in a rather gleeful way with hands being rubbed together.</p> <p>Go to center stage- let out manical laughter- MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA or BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA, must be manical and evil and strong. Then walk back to coal sacks, perhaps comedy tripping on the way. </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://workingdramablog.blog.co.uk/2006/02/21/lesson~580135/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>
