Cant just say Bridie was an Australian army nurse and Sheila was a British school girl. Question asks you to explain, Explain why they are so different You need to consider how they show two different temperaments, Bridie is brash confident and used to being in charge it is she who protects the young and vulnerable Sheila. We see the two different age groups in the play. We often hear the voice of young sheila and young Bridie giving us first hand knowledge of the experiences that these women underwent. In the motel set scene, We have the voice of the older sheila, the older Rridie, the older women who are living as contemporaries now 50 years after the war’s finish. The contrasting characters are able to give different points of view on the events of the play which makes for a well rounded experience. One is Australian and the other is British, they are to comment often in a derogatory way on the way that both governments dealth with these women and children. Because of the fact that they were friends and the friendship is reesstablished, misto is able show that the play is about humans not just about ideas. It gives a warmth and depth in detail which is quite foreign to a modern audience. Perhaps the most effective sound effect can be used is the sound of crickets, talk about dramatic technqiues that accompany that sound of crickets. The idea of foreshadowing, where the audience are given an understanding, that extra detail is going to be added, and an element of dramatic irony, where the audience knows more of Shielas experience than Bridie. Hymn “Jersulame” Look at both words and the way that music is told to us in a stirring way. Ravel’s Bolero Talk about how this music was able to stir the choir of fifty voices to stir the whole camp, to inspire all the women with music. Use quotes like “fifty voices set us free” Or Blue Danube Waltz Strauss
