Dear friends,
More fruit on the tree!!
GRGPS ( George Raptopoulos -Georgia Psarra-Set) are proud to present the next guest blogger, our sensitive Venia Adamakou, who is also part of the team of Greeks participating in the bull wreaking a magic havoc in the glass store
Enjoy perambulating in the gardens and please share your opinions with us!!!
When I was asked if I wanted to participate in this project I accepted
immediately as I love theatre! I did not imagine that this decision
could change the way I am thinking.
After a discussion full of interesting ideas we decided to play The
Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams. All the roles were wonderful and
presented the ambitions, the problems and the thoughts of the heroes. There was
one role, though, that fascinated me the most, the role of Laura, and I thought
that I should give it a try.
Laura is a young girl that cannot
walk properly and did not have any luck at making friends as she always thought
that she was not good enough for this world. She feels lonely and she creates
her own world where she feels safe and happy. Her company is her animals that
are made of glass as she cannot find what she needs when she speaks with her
mother or her brother. When her first love appears in her house she realizes
that she can be happy in the real world too. She does not care that much about
her glass collection anymore but her dream is ruined when Jim, her love,
announces that he is engaged.
This role was a real challenge for me as I always rely on my friends
when something bothers me and I cannot
imagine my life without travelling,
going out and being energetic in general. I had
to imagine how I would feel if I was totally isolated and had a problem with my legs. I felt awful
for her! Something that helped me understand
her more was that I hurt my leg and I could not walk properly for a day or two.
I immediately thought about Laura and
that I needed to approach this role with respect since many people in our society face
problems like Laura.
During the rehearsals we had so much fun as we were all excited about this play and we wanted to make it perfect! I hope
that our efforts will be enough to satisfy our audience!
