I am going to discuss is Kindertransport and my own writing The adoptionDanielle Grennan may2003 Performance Evaluation===============================================The work I am going to discuss is Kindertransport and my own pieceThe adoption. I saw Kindertransport in October 2002 at theRedbridge Drama Centre my own piece was devised and performed in May2003 also at the Redbridge Drama Centre. Both pieces have very similarthemes astir(predicate) mother and daughter relationships and the difficulty ofgiving children away. Although both pieces are cook in differentperiods of prison term. The theme of mother and daughter relationship is notvery comprehensible so it is quite hard to act.My contribution to The adoption was the part of the daughter, ClareAndrews, I had to be very aware of what a child of 11 would of feltlike finding out she was adopted and had been lied to by the main soul in her life. It was quite a difficult part to play and Ipersonally feel I did not do it justic e partly because of the time wehad to prepare the piece and I did not learn the part as much as Iwould of liked to.I looked for articles on the Internet or so mothers who have losttheir daughters as part of my presentation. I also played a clip fromBuffy the vampire slayer showing this issue. I found many articlesabout this subject and they helped me to understand the emotions andanxieties of mothers who have lost their daughters. I think it didsupport our piece because by giving it more realistic feelings andemotions felt by mothers.Our piece was set in the modern day and Kindertransport was set inthe 1930s and modern day. Both pieces were about having to give yourdaughters away for various reasons.In Kindertransport, overdue to the historical background, the mother hadto give her child away for its own safety because it was the time ofthe Holocaust. In our piece the mother had to give her daughter awaybecause of her mount up and her parents. But in both pieces both motherscome back for their daughters and they chose to stay with theiradoptive mothers.The characters in our piece were just general middle class pile inmodern times dealing with this hard but common issue. The charactersin Kindertansport were very different, the real mother and daughterare Jewish German citizens trying to escape the Jewish persecutionsand the adoptive mother and the daughters daughter are just modernday middle class people similar to the characters in our piece. Thiswas shown by accents for the different nationalities.
