The Habs Middle School play consisted of four plays; Family Vacation, Something’s Missing, Cat Hair and The Twelfth Night. Each one had a very unique plot and story line making it an amazing show to have watched.
Family Vacation is an amusing modern play, based on a family going on holiday. This family hadn’t gone on holiday in years. The parents are followed and consistently asked to sign up for things, the daughter is dealing with a breakup and the son is trying to get over his fear of the ocean and sharks. The son and mum drink a disgustingly spicy smoothie from the annoyed waitress and get into a massive fight with seagulls! Each family member gets over their problems and for one final day have an amazing holiday together.
Something’s Missing is a very interesting play about a play within a play. It shows that even though half the cast weren’t there , the show still had to go on. The actresses were amazing, they portrayed emotion and feeling so well. The play was about a cast portraying the play with less cast members hence the sense of unfamiliarity. The story line of the story within the story was of a ruby that had been stolen, and the detective trying to find the culprit.
Cat Hair is a funny, energetic play all about two cats and how much hair they shed. No matter how much their owner grooms them , they still have an infinite amount of hair. Cat hair is performed by outstanding actors. Some of the highlights of the play are the deaths – many people found it funny that the narrators chose when each character dies and in general how fun the play is to watch.
The Twelfth Night is an elegant classical play based on an intricate love story. The play is based off the Shakespeare story, The Twelfth Night, the play is portrayed so well by the actors. Even though the story is in early English.
Being backstage was an amazing opportunity. I got to see how all the plays came together in the last few rehearsals. Some of the teams backstage were hair & makeup, costumes, stage management and lights and sound. All the groups backstage worked so hard and enjoyed it. Each backstage member got a chance to pick which department they wanted to be in that made sure everyone had an opportunity to do something different.
It was a fantastic evening of outstanding performances. Well done to everyone involved!
