On Thursday 20th of February the class took a trip to the Bridge Theatre to watch a play called A Number. A Number  is a play that was established in 2002 and written by Caryl Churchill and directed by Polly Findlay. The play is based around the subject of human cloning and identity. Its  is set within the future time frame and the narrative is based upon the conflict between a father and his sons which are clones of the first one.  In regards to my experience I found whilst at the bridge theatre. I have the perspective that  the Bridge Theatre is a modern and contemporary theatre that obtains a vibrant and positive atmosphere. This is because whilst I was at the Bridge Theatre it was very busy since there was a lot of people and the performance seem to have been sold out. With saying that the seats were incredibly uncomfortable since there was not a lot of space or leg room for myself and the other people around me. Overall,  I  found my experience of the performance to be a unique and distinctive experience  because I have never watched a performance by Caryl Churchill before. For example, there were specific moments in the play were I felt confused especially because the stage was constantly rotating between the transitions of changing scenes and also the fact that one character was able to play a multiple amount of  different characters as he was only one of a number of identical copies. This made it difficult for me  to distinguish the identities of the characters which left me feeling somewhat confused and overwhelmed at times. With that being mentioned I found  A Number  to be beneficial since it allowed me to have an authentic experience and an  insight of post modern and naturalistic acting.  Therefore, I found this to be relevant in regards to my research as  I could use the same skills within the development of my character.
