150 Words on Context for Equus

We took scene 6 from Eqqus where Dysart explains to Hesther about Alans situation with his father not agreeing with TV and Dora and Frank are discussing their views on TV. When performing we chose to have Dora and Frank on separate sides to represent the modern views of Dora and old fashioned views of Frank to show the contrast in Context. When performing as Alan I chose to show an on edge character when talking about my mother because of context, Where Alan's mother wanted Alan to be happy where as Frank wanted Alan to be successful and as a successful man in the 70s Frank was very anxious to allow Alan to become religious because in the time religion was very much covered up by men. When explaining what Frank had said as Alan I very much imitated him because he seemed to be the only one drilling it into Alan's head therefore this to Alan was how it should be said.
