Sharing performances

We recently shared our group performances. I found that my groups performance brought a lot of humour to the piece as the play is quite heavy and full of death and remorse we should put in a light and humorous scene. Humour is shown through the use of power and status. We decided to show the scene in a police murder scene, using police tape, alarms and guards making sure nobody goes near the body. The scene shows us using a phone to watch a 'funny show' while on the job but the wifi goes so we leave the body alone. When we have left Nina who plays Antigone goes to do a ritual for her dead brother 

Tim plays a dopey, useless PC

I play the bossy, demanding Sergeant 

Nobody is Creon but Creon is mentioned as the Superintendent 

Nina plays Antigone

Ellis plays polyneices
