Portobello Road

Portobello Road

A scattered cloud Saturday morning

and all that was old is born again.

Aged store fronts, all painted

with pastel colors and promises,

teem with urbanites eager to find

a peace missing from city life.

Antique dealers preen and polish

long forgotten treasures, and artisans

guard their works like museum curators

between falafel carts and T-shirts stands.

Costume jewels tossed in bins,

look like grandma’s button box;

they tell the story of wasted money

or a memory dead with the wearer.

It is serene, surreal and staccato

as the crowd flows down the street.

They stop momentarily and swirl in eddies

of painters and farm fresh produce

before the stream catches them

and they continue to bob on their way.

A day in the life of

This is an improvisation exercise to help actors live a 'day in the life' of their characters. The actors could choose either to pick a day from when the play is set in London or from a day set in the country where they are from.

To answer this question you could write down a list of times and then write about what your character was doing at that moment and then write a couple of paragraphs about what you have learnt through the exercise. eg

7am -Ara wakes up. she cleans her house that her and her family live in. There are sounds of chickens/market stall setting up/people shouting at each other


10am- Ara gets ready for school and walks along the busy, crowded road to get to the place where she meets her friends every morning. There are soldiers on the street
