We are learning to analyse the playscript.
Today, we were looking at the actual play, which comprises
three acts. And we noticed that the vocabulary is quite advanced in the play.
We also saw many differences in the actual play and the adapted version in the
film.
For example: In the adapted version, Jack and Algy were in the bar, but in the play it says that they were in Algy’s flat. We also read pages 2 and 3, where Karan played Lane, Megh played Algernon (Algy) and Saksith played Jack. To view the playscript, please click here.
