Lady Mary 1 “as an actor”

Hi I’m Lady Mary’s brother and recently she got engaged with this weird man who calls himself Mr Fox. No one knows nothing about him and Mary doesn’t know much about him either. She says he lives in a castle but the strange thing is that there are no castles near here. She doesn’t even know how old he is. I’m sure he has to be lying about his identity. They have only been together for a week now and they met in the local pub. Apparently he’s had about five wives before and they all died in tragic accidents. There’s just something about this guy I don’t trust, even though she seems to think he’s perfectly normal. She’s not been in a relationship for about five years now, and I really think she’s rushing into this. She’s only seen him twice now and both times they have bumped into each other at the pub. I mean she doesn’t even know his first name and there getting married. She can only describe him as tall dark and slender and that’s it. I went and asked the local barkeeper about him and he said Mr Fox barely drunk anything there and he said he was quite moody. So all of this just makes me think this guy is really suspicious.       

My character felt Lady Mary shouldn't go out with Mr Fox. I would saw this quietly like I was trying to keep it a secret from Lady Mary.my character would also be fidgeting about on his seat like he was scared that Lady Mary was about to burst in.    

Expectations in Drama

Expectations in drama

In drama we played some games. They were called lifeboats and traffic lights. In life boats the teacher would call out a number or a type of group and we would have to get into that group and sit down or we would be out. In traffic lights the teacher would call out a colour and all the colours meant different things. Red was to stop everything and stay still. Green was to walk around. Yellow was to fall on the floor. Black was to sit down in your chair. White was to shake hands with someone. Traffic lights was meant to teach us about teamwork by making us find other people in the same form as us. Traffic lights was meant to teach us to listen to the teachers instructions and do them straight away. I liked traffic lights because I like games like that were you have to follow instructions. But I didn’t really like lifeboats because there was loads of people so we couldn’t see everyone when we had to get into are forms. I think I will like drama but I will also find it challenging because I’m not that loud and I’m quite shy.
