Punk Rock

We started work on our next unit which is contemporary theatre and my group are doing the play Punk Rock, I got given the character Bennett Francis. Bennett Francis is 17 years old, quite attractive and athletic, class bully. Tests his natural strength by showing quite extreme cruelty to other students. Relentless in his taunting and keen in his criticisms. It would take a lot to survive his onslaught. He would not make a good grown-up or a good partner or father. Naturally mean and quite scary. I am really excited about playing the part of Bennett because even though his character is extremely vile to others I can relate to some of his more sarcastic lines so I will try to bring more of this through instead of raw aggression to give the character my own spin. my first impressions of the character Bennett were the exact same as the description I found of him.

The play Punk Rock is set in a sixth form and we have been given the task to find a school that the characters can attend instead of the one that's written in the play, I found one sixth forms that sounded rather pretentious and I feel the characters would suit going to these two schools.

Chelsea Independent College (517-523 Fulham Rd, London SW6 1HD)

I chose this one as the school itself is high achieving with 90% getting A*s and many of their students have been accepted into the top 20 universities in the country.
This sixth form also has outstanding and good marks in all areas on their Ofsted report which was last taken in 2011.
