1. Who am I? This question’s answer includes all relevant details from name and age to physical traits, education, and beliefs. My name is Mrs Jenkins, and I am leading lady in the accounting company I work for. I am a well-educated woman and was always top of my class. I married my husband who is a very well earning man. We have the most beautiful boy called Bruno he is my life.

2. What time is it? It is summer in England which translates to warm rain sometimes. This weather makes my hair so frizzy.

3. Where am I? We are on holiday on the coast of England, I'm not particularly sure where but definitely England. We had to stay in the country as my hubby had to be close to home encase, he got called back into work.

4. What surrounds me? I hate sand its mucky and dirty and Bruno is covered. I wanted to be skiing in the alps but according to Mr Jenkins I needed to relax close to home. Im just happy that my boy is making friends, even if it is with that dastardly child.

5. What are the given circumstances? My boy hasn't come for his lunch time cuddle, I'm getting worried. Hubby keeps on telling me to calm down and enjoy my holiday, but I can't properly relax. I know he's young and adventurous, but he can't forget his poor mummy

6. What are my relationships? My sweet darling Bruno, he is the light of my life. I love him so dearly. He is my whole life and more. He’s my blonde haired brown eyed boy. Oh, I'm also married.

7. What do I want? I just want my boy to check in with me. I'm getting very worried. His father is being useless as always.

8. What is in my way? I must overcome my fear of mice. My sweet Brunos new friend has them as pets. I'll do anything for my boy.

9. What do I do to get what I want? I will wait until dinner and ask my angel babies new friends' grandmother if she's seen him.

We read through the script for the first time. Although I was absent for the day in class I did read through the script at home.

# data[].attributes.body
We held auditions. I auditioned for the Grand High Witch.

# data[].attributes.body
We put ourselves into tech groups, I chose hair and makeup and I am really excited to start working on these

# data[].attributes.body
We received our cast list! I got cast as Mrs Jenkins/Ensemble

# data[].attributes.body
We started in our tech groups. We began brushing out the matted wigs and creating spreadsheets with the whole cast and what will be needed for their characters.

# data[].attributes.body
We began blocking the first scene, I am involved in the first scene as a child for the opposite cast. I am planning on playing a spoiled and bratty kid. and we continued to sort the wigs and managed to get some of them washed and blow dried.

# data[].attributes.body
We continued blocking the Sabine Christenasen scene which is scene 2. I play sabines mum and a witch. We practiced a lift for the witches to catch girl. I really enjoy doing this and i really enjoy how it looks.

# data[].attributes.body
We continued blocking and began working with masks for the witches. In scene 4 as the ensemble witch we are wearing masks and wigs. We managed to figure out a smooth way to transition in taking the wigs off and putting the masks on.

# data[].attributes.body
We continued to block the witches meeting scene and began working in physicality and including Bruno in the scene. We continued blocking scene 3 and although not required as an ensemble for this scene I stepped in to help as another ensemble member was off ill.

# data[].attributes.body
Due to my absence, I had a lot of catching up to do in terms of blocking and notations on the script. I got the script notes of my double on the stage and I caught up and added a comedic moment where Mrs Jenkins screams as she sees her son for the first time as a mouse.

# data[].attributes.body
We went through each of the scenes and decided who was taking which pieces of set on and off the stage. We also began going through scene by scene to make sure these arrangements worked.

# data[].attributes.body
We went through the whole play cast by cast and tweaked and rehearsed different scenes as we went. This was my first time playing Mrs Jenkins the whole way through and I discovered I play her a lot more like Mrs Weasley than I first imagined.

# data[].attributes.body
We ran the full performances and then received the feedback for the performances to implement into our next run-through. I managed to fix some blocking mistakes I was making and start refining my characteristic traits for Mrs Jenkins.

# data[].attributes.body
We took in costumes and showed Chloe them all to make sure they were okay for the scenes.

# data[].attributes.body
In the morning we refined some scenes that were still needing work and sorted some of the blocking. I had to leave at lunch due to a medical issue.

# data[].attributes.body
We completed a full run-through of the play with lighting and sound for the first time. This allowed us to fully immerse ourself into the piece.

# data[].attributes.body
We did our last dress rehearsals before our final performance on Friday. This really helped me get into character and feel comfortable in my costumes and quick scene changes.

Role on the Wall (difficulty formatting)

I had many issues uploading the picture of my role on the wall so I have just formatted it below as outside and inside.

Outside: Wealthy, Well put together, dolled up, good posture, a helicopter parent, stuck up, put on a front of being raised wealthy, white picket family. A harsh mother and a harsher wife.

Inside: Panicked, unhappily married, raised lower class, rougher childhood, obsessive, argumentative, doesn't know how to process without her son.

I ASKED TO GO TO SPAIN!!!! I PACKED FOR SPAIN AND NOW I AM IN A CAR FOR 6 HOURS!!!! THIS IS NOT SPAIN THIS IS CORNWALL.

Mr Jenkins cant seem to understand that I am overworked too. I provide for this family just as much as he does but no, he cannot take 5 seconds away from the country incase his work needs him. His work. Not our sweet baby, his work.

Bruno pays no mind to where we are, he is currently leaning on me in the backseat and sleeping as I stroke his sweet curly brown hair. I feel peace when I'm with my boy, if anything he is all i need in life.

# data[].attributes.body
We have arrived at The Hotel Magnificent. it's not very magnificent I'll tell you that much. There's a bunch of women walking around so of course Mr Jenkins isn't helping with the bags. He says he's admiring the beautiful scenery... he's always been a bad liar. Bruno has run off with his magnifying glass forgetting his doughnut I bought for him at out last stop on the road. I am left carrying all the bags and trying to check-in. I need a glass of pinot. Stat.

THAT DASTARDLY BOY!!!!! ASSULTING MY BRUNO!!!!! AND THAT OLD BAT CALLING MY BRUNO FAT. UNCALLED FOR AND RUDE. SHES LUCKY IVE NOT GOTTEN HER THROWN OUT FOR THIS.

I simply went to go find my sweet boy to give him his doughnut and I heard him calling, nay, screaming my name for help, of course, my motherly instincts kicked in and raced toward him.

When I got to him he was all mucky and I had to drag him down and brush him off. Then the insults began, and I know my sons larger than most but he is still my little boy. My little Bruno.

# data[].attributes.body
He's off again, I was in the shower when he shouted saying he loved me and left the room. I am unsure where he went but I shouted I love you too and continued my shower. When I asked his father where he went all I got was a grunt and a 'How should I know' This man is useless I swear.

I decided to try to relax and hope he was just off somewhere with his new friend, I am still trying to relax now. I ordered some pinot to enjoy on the balcony. If Mr Jenkins keeps snoring, I might need another bottle and a straw.

A mouse. My worst fear and my lifeline has become one. My sweet beautiful boy is now a mouse. A small, chubby brown mouse. He has sweet little clothes. I am going to take a lot of time to adjust but he is going to be the most loved mouse ever. I shall buy doll clothes for him, he will get a full enclosure built in his room and have 3-course meals still made. Although different he is still my son, nothing will ever change the love I have for him.

I did hot seating with my roommate Erin one day after college. She asked me the most strange questions including her favourite book, her favourite wine and how she takes her tea. I discovered that Mrs Jenkins was raised in a lower class family and met Mr Jenkins whilst working in a bar as a late teen early adult. Mr Jenkins is quite a bit older than her. She married into wealth and adapted her accent and posture as she adapted to the higher-class lifestyle. Her favourite drink is Pinot Grigio white wine at any time of the day and her favourite meal after a tough day with family and work is a bottle of Pinot Grigio with a straw

Cast Grandmother

As Mrs Jenkins, I got feedback on my blocking for both scenes as I kept on turning my back toward the audience and my face toward the back. I rectified this by having Bruno be placed in front of me to my right slightly so we don't block each other as Luke who plays Bruno is quite a bit taller than me. This also stopped me from turning my head backwards by having him in front of me.

For the dinner scene blocking each other was still an issue so we spaced ourselves out diagonally so we had more room to be seen.

Cast Grandfather

Making more chatter during the kids scene during both bells was a common piece of feedback to counteract this I have adlibbed more in character throwing a tantrum, shouting 'lunchtime' when the second bell goes and pretending to hide.

More energy in the Witches meeting scene and using physicality was a bit of feedback we had received multiple times. I decided to hunch my posture more and by creepily twitching my head. I have also started to rub my hands together more. We also laughed more during the parts where the children get turned into mice. We also worked on the rhythm of the spoken song and I worked on my physicality and vocal performance of my solo lines in the spoken song.

During the dinner scene as a guest we were told to chat more but not too loudly. I have created a character of Denise who is there with her teen daughter. She knows Mrs Jenkins through work from many moons ago. She chatters with Mrs Jenkins throughout and when she leaves she chats with her teen daughter.
