The most difficult character I found to direct was the lawyer, who isn't a lawyer by profession but is just focused on prosecuting someone. Cast: Playing characters inside the play was very challenging. We have people who over act in real life and then we have people who over act on stage. But playing an overactor on stage playing an overactor was both challenging and interesting at the same time.
Essentially we’re playing 2 characters in the play. We focused a lot on the contrast in our voices, facial expressions and body language. The audience has to be able to distinguish between the character that we’re playing and the character that the character is playing. The whole process was difficult, but we were helped by our seniors throughout the course of the 21 days we were here.

How are things different from what it used to be during lockdown? -Drams: The experience was great, it was fun setting up everything from stage to dialogues. Things are a bit different as we’re short of first year right now so fourth yearites are trying to give us their time. In general, during lockdown we missed sitting with each other discussing the plays and scripts. During lockdown we did organise plays but since those were online, dialogue delivery was the only thing that mattered. Here, on an actual stage, it becomes important to work on our body language, in accordance with the dialogues. Along with that, we have to set up the stage ourselves. Each element of the experience - lights, music, placement of props et cetera, has to be prepared and checked. Online had a lot less problems, but with everyone's help we are able to keep up with things. +Drams: The experience was great, it was fun setting up everything from stage to dialogues.
