My establishing scene is going to set in the living room of the two main characters in my play (the couple), straight away this recognises for the listeners who my two main characters are so they can become familiar with them. I want it to be of an evening time and have the couple sitting together on the living room her drinking a glass of wine and him drinking a can of beer. You can hear eastenders on in the background therefore you know that it is night time. They are casually talking about things such as work, and he mentions something about being scared. She then mentions about he cant talk about scared after he scared the living daylights out of her on their wedding day.
TO CHANGE THE SCENE I WILL NEED A TRANSITION TO GO HERE THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE CHANGE, MAYBE A FADE OR A LONGER PAUSE.
The development of the story is going to be the night before the wedding and i want the scenes to keep flicking between eachother of what the man and the woman are doing. The woman is going to be in a hotel room with her bridesmaids music playing in the background and them all laughing and gossiping and having fun. On the other hand the men have been typical men and are going out on the town to get drunk, they will be in a bar messing about and joking with eachother. I want the scenes to flick between eachother really fast with no pauses so the audience are kept interested and it speeds the story line up a little bit.
The climax is going to be when the girls in the hotel get a phone call from the boys, the phone call is off the husband of the head bridesmaid and he tells them that he cant find the groom, he said he'd gone the toilet and he'd gone missing however they are all going to stay up all night until they find him so they assured the girls not to worry as it'll be all sorted for the big day. However the boys cant find him and they give up searching in hope that he will turn up in the morning and everything will be fine. Meanwhile, morning appears and there is still no hope as he hasnt turned up to the boys hotel, the boys ring the girls however they try and keep it from the bride because they dont want her to worry. The boys tell the girls once again it'll be fine they know he will turn up.
The resolution is going to be seconds before they boys are about to leave to have once final search he slumbers through the door still in his clothes from last night, he tells them that he ended up sleeping on a park bench because he couldnt even remember the hotel name for someone to give him directions. They all joke about saying that they thought he werent going to turn up etc, they all travel to the wedding and as the groom comes through the door the church offers a sign of relief. The bride enters after and she is so relieved to see him standing at the front of the altar. We then get little snipets of the wedding untill they are officially married.
THE SAME TRANSITION THAT WAS USED AT THE START WILL BE USED HERE TO SIGNIFY THAT ITS GOING BACK IN TO THE PRESENT AND THAT THEY ARE BACK IN THE SAME SCENERY.
In ending scene i want it to end with eastenders finishing in the background to show a passage of time. They joke about, the man saying that it was all put on to scare her and that he was always going to turn up at the wedding.
