Part Three, Scene One.

This scene is full of tension as all the characters bar Su-Lin have some issues to rehash with Gideon. Su-Lin is the oblivious child who asks the questions that the adults want to ask but aren't going to due to the existing conflict - this gives her an innocent but provocative quality that none of the other characters have as she doesn't know the whole scene. She breaks the barriers between the adults by being curious and discovering more and more about her grandpa - but to Michele's dismay. This is really fun to play as it allows me to be quite creative with her character, she's young and unpredictable.

I feel Su-Lin's main objective is to discover during this scene as she's constantly asking questions as she doesn't really know what's going on. She's been put in this situation where she can obviously pick up on the fact that there's unspoken conflict between Gideon, Michele and Anthony.

The contrast between Su-Lin's naivety and the awkwardness to the adults, i think, could be played up even more than we are in rehearsals to really pick the scene up because I think it could be borderline comedic if the tension between the characters is really obvious and there is Su-Lin just cutting with inappropriate confidence. The only way this is going to happen is if we all really play our objectives truthfully to the character and really working on conveying the relationships between the characters.
