Throughout this lesson, we took the section we had chosen and further edited it. To make the section flow better, and make more sense, we cut many lines and edited the majority of lines that were left over. Moreover, we cut out the role of Pickering in the second scene, and merged his character with Higgins. This was done to improve logistics, as there was too many characters on stage. Although we are multi-roling, we believe it would be too Brechtian to have constant multi-roling. This would perhaps make our performance a little confusing, and our intentions would be unclear.
Furthermore, we edited small lines and words that will most likely go unnoticed. For example, rather than saying 'she' Doolittle will say 'it', and will refer to Eliza as his 'creation'. This further creates the sense that Eliza is a robot, and that she is treated like an object.
