Script

Although we had many great ideas, we hadn't actually looked at the section of the play that we wish to reinterpret. Because of this, we found it difficult to choreograph any other scene, as we were largely unsure how the story was going to progress. We decided that we were still going to keep the themes and ideas that we had previously (dystopian future with a huge class system that has robots), however, we needed to change and edit how the plot would progress. To do this we decided to find a section to edit.

After searching, we decided to include a section from the end of Act two. This section revolves around Eliza in Higgin's house. She has arrived and demands for them to teach her how to speak English. They accept and his servant, Mrs Pearce, washes Eliza. However, whilst this happens, we see her father selling Eliza behind her back, and finally, Eliza returns and everyone is appalled at how stunning she looks.

To change this, we decided to stick with the robot theme, and made Eliza a robot. She comes to the pair, and they are trying to hide the fact that Eliza is actually a robot. To do this, they must clean her up and teach her to act like a human. When her 'father' appears, we will edit the lines so that it is evident he is her creator and not her father. He is still selling her whilst Mrs Pearce is trying to bathe her.

This scene in particular is going to be effective, as we are going to try and use steam and special effects for the bathing scene. This short section gives us lots of room to create a physical theatre performance around.
