Hello everyone. My name is Avery
from Alpha Bravo Theatre company.
And tonight we present to
you our Tempest experience
As a collective,
we have been working together to
explore and script our version of the
Tempest online.
But before we get started,
there is a countdown on your screen,
which lets you know how much time we
have left before our global premiere.
please ensure the camera on
your device is turned off.
So grab your cup of tea,
grab some popcorn, sit back,
relax and enjoy our Tempest experience.
Huh? I, uh, didn't see you there.
Hey erm,
my name is Malik Diallo and I'm an actor.
I'm also part of the Alpha Bravo Theater
company and um, I would like to,
all kindly thank you for
coming to the premiere of
Poor Connection.
Somewhere on your laptop,
computer, mobile phone, iPad,
other generic tablet, pager.
There's gonna be a timer.
And that timer will tell you how
long it is until it's Showtime.
Somewhere on your screen.
Maybe here, maybe here.
I don't really know,
but there should be like an icon
just to make sure that the icon
is struck through with a
red line so that you know
your cameras are off.
Enough of that.
Just do enjoy the actual show?
Thanks.
Hello, I am Valentine Proteus
and I'm the assistant
director here at Alpha Bravo.
I hope you all doing very well.
Alpha Bravo is our theatre company and
an ad was released online to bring together
a group of innovative young people to
create our own version of Shakespeare's
The Tempest. In this challenging time,
We assembled an acting company of many
and diverse talents and we all came
together by the magic of the internet
to develop on our Tempest experience.
The onscreen timer will show you how
much time is left before our film begins.
So get comfy.
Take off your masks and enjoy  
[ The Tempest. ]
Please make sure the camera
on your device is turned off.
There should be two buttons.
One withthe symbol of a microphone
and one with the symbol of a camera.
Click on both and make sure a red
line is going through both symbols.
This is a tale of love, betrayal and woe.
Thank you for coming and enjoy the show.
- Hello there.
I'm Blair May and welcome to Alpha Bravo's
production of The Tempest
by William Shakespeare.
Now, before we start our amazing production,
I've got to go over a couple of
little things with you. So number one,
please make sure your camera is
turned off for the whole performance.
You will know it's turned off cause there's
a little camera icon somewhere along the
bottom and it will
have a read slash through it.
So please make sure it stays like
that throughout the whole production.
Thank you. Number two, there is
a timer somewhere along the top here.
I do not know where, but basically
when that timer reaches zero,
The production will start. So if
you're thinking about getting up,
going to the loo, getting a
cup of tea, getting a biscuit,
making a sandwich. Do really have
time to do that? Because I don't
want you missing any of the
show. It's going to be amazing.
How will you feel coming in,
sitting down and knowing that
you've missed the beginning of this
legendary show? Just, just ponder
on that moment for a second.
Just think you'll be so
upset. I'll be upset.
Everyone will be upset
knowing that you've missed it.
So just make sure you have time to do any
of those things if you really want to.
Well, that's all I've got to say.
So thank you for choosing
to watch our production.
Remember I'm Blair May and I hope
you have an amazing time. Thank you very much.
- Hello my name is Billy and
this is my audition speech.
- Hi, I'm Abiarthur Bonaparte, or Abi. 
I am a poet, director, actor, playwright,
spoken word artist. Just a multidisciplined creative.
You can find me as king a squared on YouTube.
I'm sending this in because
it was requested as part of the ad.
- Hello my name is Blossom,
I'm 21 and I'm from North London.
We were meeting in Leicester Square
so we could all walk down together.
and it was a stupid place to meet.
- I meet him in a club in Mitty.
Dancing, with his shirt off and I think wow
that guy can really dance.
- Now is the winter of our discontent.
Made glorious summer, by this sun of York.
And therefore, since I can not prove a lover,
to entertain these fair well-spoken days.
I am determined to prove a villian,
and hate the idle pleasures of these days.
- Hi my name is Malik Diallo and I'm an actor.
Well I've been acting for as long as I can remember.
Pretty much like the day I started walking.
I walked on the stage, you know.
I'm sending this in because I think Alpha Bravo
is a very creative group. I can see just by the stuff
you guys have done before.
- You look a little nervous dear.
How about a cuppa? Yeah.
There, feeling better? I know it's decaf. 
I'm sorry it's all we have.
I've always found like a nice hot cup of tea,
settles my nerves you know.
When I got married to my first husband Charlie. 
I was practically shaking as I walked down the aisle.
Charlie, he died almost exactly two months
after the wedding.
- Are you thinking good things?
Or is it negative things?
Are you thinking negative things about me?
Becuase you shouldn't like, judge you know.
Is it that I talk too much? Is that it? 
That I talk too much?
You are probably sat there in absolute silence
thinking, Leah talks too much. She should just shut up.
Because, because, because alright there I do,
I admit it I talk too much. So shoot me.
Call the police, lock me up, pull out my teeth
with a pair of rusty pliers because I talk too much.
- The sun is set...
-  Is this a dagger which I see before me?
It handles towards my hand.
- The sun is set, the swallows are asleep.
The bats are flitting fast in the gray air.
- Hello my name is Taate, I'm 19 years old
and this is my audition for Alpha Bravo.
The monologue I'll be performing is 
A Wise Woman Gives Advice by Iain Heggie
and I'll be playing the role of Irving, thank you.
I can't do that.
How can possibly even think about not marrying Nancy.
Her parents would be heartbroken.
They love me.
- Hi my name is Avery, that is A - Very
and this is Protective Shield.
I keep things in, emotions.
My emotions I know that probably 
isn't a good thing.
Life has made me that way I guess.
- Hi my name is Blair May and I will be
performing part of a monologue from
things I know to be true.
- To be or not to be, that is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
and by opposing, end them. 
- I see thee yet.
- Do you know and I was grounded 
for the rest of year nine.
And I never drunk sweet wine again.
Hang on.
Thank you.
and that's all folks.
Is all our company here?
- Yeah.
 - Just waiting for Toshi.
- Toshi is the director by the way.
- Hi everyone.
 - Hi, hello, hey.
 - Sorry I am late.
I'm usually very early, but I've
just got so much as always.
My name is Toshi and 
I will be your director
for this production.
I hope you have all had a chance
to chat.
- We have.
- Our very first rehearsal.
- Yes. Exciting.
I'm so interested
in learning from you all.
I just wanted to start off by talking
about my journey as a director.
What got me here? What got us all here?
- Sorry Toshi, we are on a basic plan
only 40 minutes.
- Err, 39.
- Thanks Valentine. You want to
get started on the notes?   
- Yes, err pen, pen, pen?
- So here we are, all together. 
- Pen.
- Cool, I'll just pick someone at random. 
- Pen, let's go notes.
- Alphabetical please.
- Cool alphabetical.
- Alpha Bravo, go, go, go.
 - Abiarthur, am I saying that right?
 - Yeah, Abiarthur. Thank You.
- Do correct me. 
- I shall.
- So what made you want to join us?
- Creative freedom.
I just really need to
get my vision out there,
but you see this industry just makes
you feel like, you need experience to
do what you want to do, what you need
to do. And I don't necessarily agree,
but I'll do what I have to do. Get
experience and get my vision out there.
Be free.
- Cool. Is there a character
you'd really like to play?
- Yeah. Prospero.
He's overthrown the authority, taken
over and taking them into his world.
And that's what I want to do. I want that.
- Okay. I respect that. Hello, Amelia.
- Hello everyone.
I wanted to do this because I really like plays,
musicals...
Lucy, no.
Musicals, really. So I hope
we can do some music.
I like cats the musical because
they're cats. Well, they're humans but...
Stop it.
They're humans, but you get the
point. I like cats. I'll be back.
Give me a second, sorry.
- So um, thanks for that.
So Avery would you like to introduce
yourself? 
- So hi everyone.
- Hi. 
- I'm Avery.
- I'm head of participation
and outreach.
So we've got young children and young
people to come and join the company and do
lots of theater, lots of drama, you know,
getting them doing something new. 
We all going to have the most
brilliant time during this project.
- Yes.
- I'm so excited.
That's it from me. Thank you.
- Cool. Thank you Avery.
So Blair what attracted you 
to being a part of this? 
- Yeah. Hi. Um, because it looks fun.
- Yes, fun, fun.
- Ooh yeah, fun.
- Yeah.
- Okay l et's move on to Bobby.
- Oh, and I also want to
broaden my horizons.
- Simon.
- Thanks Blair.
- Simon.
- Simon.
- Are you alright blossom?
- Yeah. Sorry. Hi. Um, yeah,
so, um, I'll make it quick.
I want to do this because I have not
been ready for drama schools for about
three years in a row now, but people have
told me that I got something special.
I want to be Miranda
because you know,
she's like the only female. So like,
you know, girl power, all of that.
And yeah, that's about it. So
just putting that into the universe,
that I really want to be Miranda.
Okay, t hank you so much.
- We'll keep that in mind. So Bobby.
- Back to Bobby Bobsters. Okay, well obviously
Toshi asked me to come in and compose.
That's why I bring mad skills.
And in terms of characters,
I could probably play Caliban,
Prospero and Ariel. I mean,
whatever you want me to do
and I'll do it. And, uh, yes,
it's good to see you again Toshi and
hopefully this will mean we're even.
- And tell us, Karen, what attracted
you?
- Um, my name is Karen.
I think it was the chance to work with new
people. Hi. All of you creatives.
That would just be amazing. 
You are all so great.
And it would be just amazing to
work with you all.
Character to play,
Miranda, but honestly Blossom. I think you
would make an amazing Miranda. Honestly.
- I think I have like
the face for it.
- Whatever you guys think. I trust your opinion. 
Honestly, I think it's just amazing.
- Well. May the best Miranda win Karen.
- Let's move on.
- So, Malik next.
Uh, sorry, yeah.
Uh, what was the question?
- What attracted you to our ad?
- Man. I think this could be
my second big break.
I think that'd be great for me,
you know, for my career and,
for my character choice,
I like to play Prospero if that's possible. 
Yeah. That'd be great.
Thank you.
- Well, that's cool. And next
we have Precious.
- Yeah, hi.
- Hello.
- I wanted to do this mainly because
I wanted to meet new people.
I'm getting bored with
my job and to be honest,
I don't have many friends there
knowing there really likes me anyway.
I wanted to be in a crowd.
Also it was a bit of a dare.
I want to play Antonio because
like he does evil stuff to Prospero
and I just feel like it would be a good
way for me to take out my own anger.
- Dangerous.
- And Willian are you there?
- Oh, yep sorry, just had my camera off there. 
Hello. Is this thing on?
- Yes, we can hear you.
- Okay, brilliant.
I think this is a great opportunity to
have some fun. For those who don't know,
I'm the head of financing
here at Alpha Bravo.
I've got some professional work
experience as a financial advisor,
so I thought that might be helpful for you
guys at this difficult time.
Some creative accounting.
I'm also bit of a ladies, man, 
for those that just, you know...
- Cool and finally, Taate.
Have I pronounced that correctly?
- Yeah, that's right. Taate,
like the art gallery.
- I love that gallery.
- Yeah I love that gallery too!
It's sick. I'm sick, anyway.
So why am I here?
I'm here because there's a chance
for me to learn new skills,
which is sick 
and what character?
Probably Ferdinand, because he's not
as serious as the others 
and he's got a sad little backstory, whatnot.
So yeah, definitely him. 
Anyway thank you. I will mute myself now.
- Cool, thank you guys. I really enjoyed that.
I'm really looking forward
to working with your all.
Lovely to meet all of you.
- Thank you, appreciated.
- I mean, coronavirus has completely
foiled my plans for the year.
I'm currently on a gap year and this
week I'm supposed to be getting back from
three weeks in Spain. I tried doing cool
things, like learn the guitar.
I gave that up after a week.
I've been reading and
getting a headstart on my studies.
Did you know that there are eight fundamentals of business?
And that customer care is one of them?
Who would have thought?
- I just wanted to check.
Did everyone manage to send
their details to me?
That's phone numbers, addresses. Email addresses.
- Yeah, I've sent them all.
- Okay cool.
- Can I tell them?
- Yeah. So Val, would you like to
share your production concept?
- Yes
Okay. So the thing is, so it's
on a boat, right. It's on a ship.
So I might know some people and we can
get a ship. Do some stuff on that.
It'd be quite cool. Like an actual ship.
- Thanks Val.
- I like ships.
- Yeah, think big you guys,
aim high.
- Aim within budget.
- Okay. I've got one. It's like an
X factor bootcamp audition stage.
So maybe we can use like music break off
into little groups, really come together
and just like collaborate. 
Just work on something, you know, just an idea.
- I like the idea of music.
- When will we find out about casting?
- I was thinking about a trap
musical with The Tempest.
I imagine spirits going,
Ding, ding,
ding, ding, ding, ding.
Dong, dong, dong, dong.
That's going off in the background, yeah.
It's a rave, it's a wave. 
Stormy, Stormzy.
Yeah. I wrote a little something.
I hope you don't mind.
- No, no, please continue.
All hands on deck, all hands on deck. 
All hands on deck, all hands on deck. 
Rise up the musket,
rise up the mast.
Take in the topsail (faster faster).
Swerve the ship,
tryna spin it back,
Master the ship (who),
he owns it, I run it.
I’ll tell a noble get down,
don’t mar my labour.
Unless you can calm these elements,
then leave me cause I'm in my element.
Yeah, yeah that's it, that's it, that's it.
- (Applause)
- I like that, I like that.
- I love it.
- Ayy yo, Bon appétit, Bonapareigh.
- It's Bonaparte
- Alright I'm sorry, I'll mute myself.
- Yeah it's Bonaparte.
Yeah, Yeah, but it's something to go
away and think about.
- Maybe Abi and Bobby can make a collab on that.
- Well I like the idea of a musical.
It would be quite cool and we can do
a lot of music, music stuff with that.
Yeah. Um,
we can even try putting a bit of bare track 
in there now that that was banging mate.
Nice try.
- I wasn't even trying,
but sure.
But I was thinking that I could take
away the writing and I can even lead
the music part, you know, just...
- No the music part, you can leave that to me
because you know...
- No, I think the music will be better...
- Well it's what I was...
- Yeah collabortaion. Collaborators are collaborating.
- Any more ideas?
- Yeah. Um, I would like to
propose that we, I don't know,
set it on a remote Siberian mountain,
exiled, on an expedition,
or doing something important.
Maybe a plane crashes...
- Not sure about the plane.
And we're talking about some
kind of set or graphics now? 
- Sorry, forget it. You don't that like that.
That's fine.
I just, yeah,
I don't know.
- I liked it.
- So Blair you've had
your hand up for a while. 
- Yeah, thanks.
So I have this amazing idea,
that I think everyone will be
amazed with.
 Drum roll please.
(Drum roll)
So let's set it in a food shop.
It's something that everyone does.
So it's clearly relatable
and nobody would expect it.
It's very funny and it's a new,
exciting adaptation
and we can rename all
the characters to match popular foods.
So for example, 
Ariel could be cereal.
And Caliban could be Parma ham.
Miranda sounds a bit like coriander.
And Alonso I thought sounds like potato.
and then Sebastian could be sea bass...
- Alright Blair yeah, Blair stop.
- Oh right yeah, sorry, but you get the idea.
- Precious time to collaborate.
- Okay. Look, Shakespeare didn't
set a date in his play.
So why should we?
Let's time travel.
It's everywhere
and all time,
but it would cost nothing
if we're doing it in our
own homes via the internet.
We provide our own props and costumes,
like Grotowski's poor theater.
- Awesome. 
- It's universal.
- But did we get expenses if we
time travel?
- About expenses...
- Right okay,
thoughts for the concept?
- Yes Blossom?
Okay, one word.
Boats.
- Yes boats.
I just said boats.
- Boats. That is it. That's it. 
Can we talk about the boats?
- Okay, let's hear my idea.
Okay, let's move on.
The Tempest in places we know,
or college, a factory, a library,
even a chip shop.
Just  something that's much more
palatable to a contemporary audience.
You know, something that's
imaginative and immersive. Yes.
- Yeah, I like the idea of the chip shop
because then we can message everyone
that when they come to see the show,
they have to order chips.
So that means that they're like in
the show, does that make sense?
- Do you like it?
- I don't think everyone can eat chips.
- You know it can be so much more than we think.
- You know it can be so much more than we think.
A mixture of social comment
and beautiful poetry.
- And chips.
- Financially it's cheaper than a ship.
It's much better.
- You know maybe we can do fish and ships. 
- Alright, shall...Um, I think that's everyone.
Shall we R and D on my idea?
Can we come back to Bobby? 
So I'm following on 
from the time travel idea.
We set it in space and there's like a black hole.
The black hole is like The Tempest 
and it's doing some stuff with time.
Crushing it, playing with it like a thing.
And we could definitely
do some stuff with that.
And I think that would be quite interesting.
Time stuff, you know.
Definitely.
- Cool. Thanks Bobby.
Oh and I'll add some cool music as well. 
Yeah. Thank you.
- So that was really good.
Really enjoyed that.
Like if we break out into different
rooms and just carry on...
- Manjuka?
- Manjuka, sorry. Yep.
- Can I have a moment with you please,
before you go?
- Yeah, cool.
- Well Manjuka I've set up
the breakout rooms.
- So, yeah.
- If all of you can click on the notification.
And I'll see you all later. Safe.
- See you in a bit.
- Alright guys see you soon.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- It's been fine. To be honest.
I like my own company anyway.
So it's actually panned out pretty great.
I miss the park  though.
That was this favorite bench.
I liked to sit on, on Sundays.
So now I just walk.
But yeah it's been fine. 
I'm fine.
- Well that was unproductive.
You guys want to continue
spitballing ideas?
-Yeah. 
- Yeah. Talk about the boats.
- Yeah I agree with Blossom.
- I'm not completely against the boats.
As long as we stick with
my idea of a trap musical.
- And we also go to talk about, um, we've
been cast as the gods goddesses. Sorry.
- Yeah. I want to be, I think I want to be...
Simon.
- You want to be Simon?
- No I don't, I want to be Juno
because she's queen of the gods.
- That's great.
And the goddess of love and marriage.
And the goddesses are involved in Prospereo’s Masque
I can write a song for the Masque
and we can all sing along to it.
- Are you sure Juno is the goddess of gods? 
I thought that was mars.
- No, he's, he's not a goddess.
- But I know, you know, there's, there's..
I know them all.
- Yeah but you obviously don't know what their
gods and goddesses off.
Is that right?
- It is about right.
- I like Poseidon because he reminds me of...
Simon.
Sorry. Yeah.
It reminds me of like
the sea and swimming.
And like one of my fondest memories
in the sea is on holiday...
Simon, please darling.
Can you make it yourself?
- Masque
Masque
Okay, cool, cool. I got this.
I got this. I got this.
I've got a verse and a chorus. 
You guys can do like the background, the background vocals.
Like just going, Masque,
Masque, Masque.
I'll come in on the verse like
gods and goddesses going for a masquerade.
Master, dressed up, 
pull it up, just to show,
Now, I tell you to look me in my Iris. 
Tell me you love me. No Juno.
Harvesting grain like I'm Ceres.
No, no. Do you guys like it?
Do you guys get it?
- Yeah. That's great.
- Great, just leave it to me.
The music will be revolutionary,
But um, what were we talking about?
Iris, the Goddess of rainbows.
- Yeah
- Yeah, sure. It's is.
- Yeah and that's crazy what with,
all the kids drawing rainbows recently as well.
- Yeah I know like, I don't know about
you guys, but all along my street,
there's like rainbows
in all the windows. So sweet.
- Yeah and I saw some on masks actually.
Yeah on the masks.
It is so important to wear masks man.
We're actually so lucky to be here.
- I know.
Simon, can't you just take
the shopping from him?
I'm kind of busy.
Sorry.
- Oh you get your shopping delivered?
- Yeah, yeah.
Um, just to sort of like,
just reduce the risk of being in the
shop and things like that. So yeah.
- Exactly. And you have to follow the
arrows when you're in the Shop,
it's just too restrictive. 
I just stockpile resources in my house.
And when supplies seem low, I gear up
mask up and scavenge for what I can find.
- I've been able to fully focus
on my spirituality and stuff.
Like during this time, like I'm also,
I'm addicted to herbal tea at the moment.
Chamomile has got some amazing calming
properties and it just tastes insane.
Oh, I did, um, a yoga like zoom
workshop thingy the other day,
which is insane as well.
Great turnout actually.
Some friends and grace
who lives across the road.
She's I don't even know, like
ever since she's retired,
she hasn't stopped knitting,
like tartans, doilies, scarves,
the lot you name it, she's
probably got a patern for it.
And it's got worse as of late what with
lock down and everything.
Like, she's left a jumper and a pair of bed socks
at my door already this week.
But you know, like if
it makes her happy, then
go for it.
The rain's been a bit of a bummer though.
I don't know about you,
but there's only so many sun
salutations someone can do.
Like they haven't even worked half the time.
It's been pouring it down in London for weeks.
Ghastly.
Really bad vibes.
But I'm living with my boyfriend Simon
at the moment, which is fine.
You know, he's a few years older than me, 23,
got a job as an investment broker.
So he's very straight. My mum says,
he's definitely got his head screwed on
She says we are like chalk and cheese,
which you know, is actually true
because I'm fire sign, I'm fire sign and he is water.
So he's Scorpio. So she's definitely right.
It probably doesn't matter to him...
- But at least he doesn't like get in your way.
 He lets you do what you want.
Like in my house, all I've had
are people trying to dictate,
my creativity, it's like,
my roommate Dan.
When we're on the same wave length, unstoppable.
But recently he's been talking about
profit margins and wanting to make money
and pay the bills. It's like,
it's always art over money.
Like, do you guys get that? I wanted to make
distressed masks. Cause you know,
as a form of protest,
like we shouldn't be going out
in the first place right now.
So like, what's the point of wearing
this mask just to go outside.
You get it?
But he is talking to me about how
that's not going to pay the bills,
What?
- Just dream like. 
- Honestly, honestly.
You seem, that just seems.
Totally irritating man.
You know, I've been living with my mom, so.
It's been a bit hectic, but you know,
I'd say I miss my nan. Um,
what we're talking about again?
- There's a lack of connection with
the protagonist and Shakespeare.
That's what's missing,
The Tempest in places we know,
I feel like that will be 
really cool. I mean,
we are used to seeing the traditional
Shakespeare on stage, but it feels distant.
There's no realness to it. 
It's the lack of identification.
Being able to identify yourself with characters.
Where we are located is so important.
That might be the connect between the
characters and the audience members.
We need to adjust.
- Yeah like, I've only seen Shakespeare performed
on a big stage in front of so many people.
The actors were so far away that
I couldn't even hear it. 
- I mean as always, I think this is a great
idea and I'm behind you 100%.
- Yeah. Um, honestly I just want to say
that these are all really good ideas,
but I just had like a few questions.
If we're doing it in like a fast food
establishment, which characters are
customers and which are employees?
Cause I think that's a really
interesting dynamic there.
Or is it going to be
like a mix of both where,
sorry, just, just a sec. Sorry.
- Well, I'm definitely up for this.
It's really grabbed me and it sounds
really good and I am curious to how it
will work, but if it does work,
then it will be amazing.
I'm so excited. I just,
just, just so you know,
- Just, just, just so you know Toshi.
Um, I really wanted to let you
know that if you think about casting,
I really want to play Ariel.
Thanks for letting me know.
Sorry, sorry. I'm back guys.
- Hi, welcome back.
- So I want our tempest
to beautifully illustrate life.
It's about capitalism,
colonialism, power and selfish
individualistic culture.
- I'm sorry, just one sec guys. My bad.
- I think he's a secret agent. 
- He's working for the Camden Fringe.
- What's the Camden Fringe?
- It's a haircut.
- Is it?
No, it's not, thanks.
- Anyway, I think it's a great play.
You're blending magic with all
these really important things.
What do you think of Amelia?
- Yeah, I like it.
-  We all like it.
Wonder woman Toshi.
I'm sorry about that. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.
- Is everything alright?
- Um, I don't know. Um, I've been waiting
for my brother to call me, but um, he's,
you know, he's been outside today
and look. Anyway, I'm back, I'm sorry.
What were you saying?
- I think it's great. It's really
nice. How they all come together.
It's like a little community with big
problems and lots of questions that really
resonates with people now. 
Like people coming together and taking the time to
really get to know each other.
- I like that. I've seen my family more too.
Yeah. We need to take every day as it
comes, like everyone's in such a rush.
Yeah.
Do you know what that is in Italian?
Carpe diem.
- What's, what's that?
- Carpe diem.
- Something about dead fish, or daily fish or?
- Um, nah, it means, um, seize the day
we should all seize the day, you know.
- Seize it.
- You know, it was actually during lockdown
where I started to read more Shakespeare plays.
- I started reading more too.
- I mean as a creative,
I didn't want to look at Shakespeare.
I didn't want to be another person
repeating the same work.
I didn't think I'd get any
inspiration from this stuff.
But then after reading more,
I realised that he might,
he might actually be a genius.
Maybe.
- I like reading and I like writing poems.
- Can we hear some?
- No, I don't know why I just said that.
- Yeah. Come on let's hear some.
- Amelia, Amelia?
- She's pretending to be frozen.
- Amelia, Amelia?
I say we would turn our cameras
off and then just leave her here.
- I'm a secret agent master of disguise.
- What have you been writing?
- Don't ask or I will freeze again.
- Sorry.
- What part would you like to pay Amelia?
- I want to play Miranda because she
seems really nice and I like that she is nice.
And she finds love in a lonely place. 
So I like that.
- Man. I am so sorry guys.
- You want to leave
and join us next time?
- No, I, I just don't know
what's going on with him.
He's not even picking up when I try
to call him.
- His phone is probably dead.
- What?
- Phone is probably dead.
- OK. Um, nah, but, um, it's ringing though.
- You know Malik you don't
have to stay you know?
- No, no no, no. Look, let's just keep going
and just look. Yeah, I'm fine.
There's nothing I can do, right?
- You sure?
- Yeah I'm fine thanks. All good.
- Sure?
- Yep. All good. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- We've just been talking about characters.
Now you mentioned previously how you would
like to play Prospero. Why is that?
- Yeah. Um, honestly, I'm, I'm not too sure.
I haven't really, um, I'll be honest.
I haven't really read the play.
- Oh, I'll send you a copy.
-  Cool. Thanks.
- Yeah, thank you.
- Actually it might be online.
I can send it to you now.
- Yeah I don't think we
have enough time for that.
- Rah.
Nah, nah, nah, nah. Nah, nah.
Oh my God. Avery, did you see that?
- I saw every single bit of it.
- No, no. That was peak.
Avery say it with me.
- That was peak.
- Manjuka are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.
-  No,no, no, no, no. Talk to us.
- It's, it's why every time Toshi tries to just,
she just completely takes control.
How'd you expect?
Okay.
Let's just focus on production.
Let's get back to work.
 -  No, no, no, no, no, no.
Manjuka, I can that this is really
affecting you. So please just talk to us
and tell us how you're really feeling.
Because I don't like seeing you like
this, you know.
- Hundred.
- She's just, she's just so annoying. 
Like, I understand you've had this, like so much experience,
but why are you asking
for people's opinion?
If you're not going to listen to them?
Like Toshi, just the way she goes on.
And she just cuts me off 
and she just embarrasses me in
front of everyone.
- I'm sorry you feel that way you know.
- Personally, I wouldn't take it. You deserve
way better than that Manjuka.
- I know, it's just that she's my boss
and I feel like I can't say anything to her.
- It doesn't matter that she's your boss you know.
She cannot treat you like that
and to cut you off the way she did,
it's just not, it's just not right and
your ideas are so much better than hers.
- Her ideas are crap. She wanted to place
The Tempest in a chicken and chip shop.
Your ideas are undoubtedly way
better than hers.
- Thanks guys.
It honestly means a lot. I just,
I wish we could just take...
No Imagine if we actually took control
over this production,
like think about what it is right now under Toshi. 
We can make it so much better.
Like it could reach its full potential. 
- So what are you suggesting?
- Yeah, I'm a bit lost.
- Yeah
- But we'll take, any time she just makes a suggestion,
just put her on mute, any time she tries
to cut someone off,
just put her on mute and Avery just get
more people involved.
Why should we have to listen
to her? Like her opinions,
like why? 
We can make it so good.
- So you're suggesting we
hijack the production,
get rid of Toshi so you can
lead it?
- Hijack is a strong word, more...
- Sounds good. Brilliant, yeah.
But what's in it for me and Taate?
- That's a very good point.
- Well people will see how good this is
and they'll want to get involved.
They'll want to know who's behind it.
They'll see it us. And they'll be like,
this is it. This is worth it.
Imagine what it'd be for our careers.
- So what are you saying? 
- Avery, are you on it?
- I'm on the boat.
Like I'm on it a 110%.
- Well listen, if you're on it,
then I'm on it.
- It's a deal.
- It's a deal.
It's a plan.
- It's going to be so good.
Honestly like from where it is
right now, it's dead.
- It's dead.
- It's literally gone.
- Honestly.
- Nah Manjuka, I just never thought
you were like this. You're actually savage.
- What can I say?
I'm a savage.
Classy, boujie, ratchet.
- I should have saw that one coming.
Sassy, moody, nasty.
Acting stupid, what's happening?
What's happening?
- Come on eyyy.
That's a wrap, jheeze.
- It's going to be so good.
- Come on gang.
- So Yeah. I was thinking that maybe for the
ending, you know, the wedding scene,
it's just a bit lighter, airier,
but what are your thoughts?
- The exact same thing. I think it would
be perfect for the wedding scene,
with that light melody as you said.
- Keep going?
- Continue please.
- There's a bit of a nice
little twiddly bit coming up.
- Precious can you speak to Toshi
about her ideas? It's just not going to work.
You know, it's too expensive.
- I mean surely can't you, uh, use your creative
accounting to help us out? You know?
You're the fella, you you're the
guy, you're the slippery fish.
- I'm certainly trying mate.
- Bobby keep playing. I think it would
be good as a background soundtrack.
And I know you wanted to do space scene,
but I just think time travel
would be better. It's all time.
Whereas space is tacky and boring.
- It's not. Um, but if, if you,
if you want to go that route. Sure.
- Good.
I've got to get my charger one sec.
- We're definitely not
paying that license fee.
- Don't worry about it, Bill.
Can I call you bill? 
- Yeah, sure.
- Yeah. I can always like shift
things around in the production,
like costume side.
So don't stress.
- Uh, thanks.
- Yeah in fact I was actually, I'm kind
of inspired by that like board
you have in the background there.
Yeah so I was thinking maybe we can
incorporate some of the neutral tones.
- Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
I get you, I get you, I get you.
Oh yes. This thing?
- Yeah. That's the one. 
- This is the chess board my
dad gave me when I was younger.
This is where I learned
to play.
- Really?
- Yeah.
A couple competitions when I was younger,
just, just a little bit competitive, you know.
- No way I use to compete too.
- Really? Oh, wait, use?
Why did you stop?
- It was nothing really.
Let's get back to the production...
- No, no, no no. 
You can tell me it's fine.
- Gosh, it was the 2012 South London,
regional championships.
I was one move away from checkmate
and then as I reached for the queen,
got even doing that. It makes
me remember how my shoulder,
it just popped out of nowhere.
And so after that I never really got the
courage to play again, competitively.
- Oh, well I'm sorry to hear that Kay.
Can I, can I call you Kay? Is that alright?
- No. You know what?
You could, I guess.
- Okay thank you.
- You know my mate Alex down the pub,
he broke his right hand in a table playing
chess. He just gets so angry with it.
Bonkers.
- I mean, did that happen though?
- Extreme.
- Hey Precious.
- You alright?
- Yeah, we were just talking about chess.
- I've actually never played before.
- I can't blame you, it's an intense sport.
- Chess isn't a sport.
- Yeah, yeah it is.
- No, it's not. 
- Yes it is.
- Chess is not a sport.
- Yes it's a sport.
- You know what, I'm not even going to
argue with you on this one.
We don't have time for it.
Karen I know you're backing me here.
- Precious, let's just get back to these production notes...
- No, no ,no, no. Bobby, Bob star.
Come on.
I mean,
I think chess is as much
a sport as birdwatching.
- Okay that's going a step too far.
I don;t think that's fair.
There's 600 million people
playing chess on the planet.
My don't probably have a fit.
If you heard you say that if
you were still about so yeah.
I think you should probably try
and rephrase that. It's a sport.
- So sorry to hear about your dad, Billy.
- Yeah. Yeah. It's fine. It's
just been on my mind recently.
- How come?
- Just in quarantine.
I feel like I should be
a bit further along in my career.
Not doing this, you know.
It would be a bit better
if he was still here.
- Alright, alright, we get it. You're lonely
and you miss your family.
At least you've got some money saved up.
I'm broke and Karen don't be
fooled by his puppy dog eyes.
We all know he's loaded.
- Precious I don't understand 
why you're being so rude.
- Karen?
- Just ignore her, Billy.
- We're doing time travel.
- Listen i f she ever tries any of that again.
- I'm going to leave you to it.
- Alright see you in a bit mate.
- Yeah. She gets like that sometimes,
but recently she's just been
even more controlling.
- Yeah. Well I've been thinking about
the next show that we might do.
Do you like the sound of Romeo and Juliet?
- Yeah.
Cool. I can't believe how
much time has passed.
Yeah I remember being so excited at the
beginning wanting to get done all these
things I'd been putting to the side for
so long. I signed up for the Instagram.
I learned a bit of German. Finally
learned how to ride a bike. Yeah.
Started cycling everywhere.
All of a sudden Susan suggested that
we took book club and put it online.
I said, no.
- Alright you guys secret meeting
number one, what are we saying?
- Honestly like, I'm loving where this is going.
I can really see it the progression.
- Yeah me and Avery were talking off camera,
and we were saying that when we take
over the production and make it ours,
this is going to be sick.
Am I right Avery?
- Honestly like it is our production
it's the good production,
and it's the best production.
- Hundred percent.
- Yeah like, so often people like us at the very
bottom never get the time of day,
and finally they can see how much work
we can do and like how good it can be.
Like the quality of the work.
Like how often is it that the same people
from the same background making the same stuff?
Like it's time to let other people shine. 
You know what I mean?
It's going to be so good.
Honestly, a lot for once.
- Honestly, like for once,
like we get to be in charge and like,
we really got to make this production
ours and make it how we want it to be.
- Guys we are the people behind the
scene. Thought is free yeah
and listen, when we get this together, it
is going to bang. No question.
So do not worry about it.  
Yeah, like I've been thinking how
we can make it progress,
but, let's just not send certain people
the links to the meetings. Or like when
it comes to access to the scripts,
like just completely change the password
on the drive, or like we can carry on
muting them and like
stopping their videos.
But it isn't even just Toshi anymore.
Like all these people
just want to take control,
- But guys like I'm the technician, yeah. 
So when there's all these
technical difficulties on,
they're going to draw it back to me.
- Not, not necessarily.
You can always just blame wifi. Like
how often does Zoom cut out with wifi?
And because everyone has access to the script
and we've all got the same drive
and all the same files, then,
it's never just going to be you
or us, it could be anyone.
- Avery you have the final decision.
What is your opnion? What you saying?
- I mean, I'm on it, always been on
it and I'm staying on it.
During The Tempest don't tempt me.
This aint temp work for me.
This is my life work. 
I throw you overboard like an anchor.
I don't care if the King concurs.
On my ship. I control...
On my ship...
- So I'm really excited and
interested to hear what you've
all been talking about
in your breakout rooms.
 So Manjuka,
let's start with your group.
- So obviously we were really excited
about your chicken shop idea
and we thought,
how can we kind of collaborate on
that and just really develop it?
So we kind of thought five years in
the future, five years in the past,
how we can remix The
Tempest to integrate it
and obviously Abiarthur
is an expert on music,
so we can incorporate
music in that...
- Manjuka have you got any...
Manjuka have you got any ideas
that's separate to mine?
Because I don't think my
needs developing, as you said.
- No, not...
- You know, you know what, you think about that.
Let's move onto someone else.
Shall we?
So Valentine.
I'll hope you are taking notes by the way.
- Yeah I'm taking notes, mental notes,
physical notes. Got all the notes.
- So, um, what has your group
come up with?
- We've had a very interesting
conversation about music and stuff like that.
So I'm going to hand over to Abiarthur
who is the expert. He could explain it,
better than I can.
So Abi, take it away.
- I'm saying our next step is to
create this real Island vibe,
real Madagascar vibes.
And I say we do that by like 
forming like a company choir.
Now I can lead us as like
the choir leader, you know,
seperate us into groups,
you know, singing different
parts, you know? Ah,
Ahh, ahh , ahh, ahh.
Other, other side. Ooh, ooh, oooh, ooh  
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Get some xylophones in there.
- Abi?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, shoot, shoot, shoot.
- Abi? 
Let me know how, this links to The Tempest?
- Yeah Bonapareigh, it's not everyday music man.
- It's Bonaparte and music is 
our way into this. Thank you.
I'm just saying like...
- It was, it was a joke.
-  Joke on your own time.
Not on my time. Thank you. Ha, ha, ha.
- Anyways guys we are on to the most important part...
- What? No, I'm not done.
of the conversation right.
So I spent my time editing a film clip
exploring act one scene one.
Toshi are you ready to premiere it? 
- Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,
hold on. Before we see the film. Okay.
Me, Manjuka and Precious have decided
that tonight we are going to get everybody.
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Uber Eats.
- Composer cutting in.
Malik are you alright?
- For you, for you, for you, for you, 
for everyone.
- What are we having?
- Okay. So we are having chicken and chips, 
it's all been paid for so you don't
have to worry.
And Blossom I know you don't 
eat chicken and chips.
So I have got, you some sushi.
- So she gets sushi and I
have eat murder meat.
- Karen, I have got you, gluten free, 
sugar-free quinoa? Keenwah?
- Quinoa keenwah yes.
- Yes, so that's everyone we're going to have, 
we are going to eat great tonight.
- I'm going to say a prayer
for you tonight.
- Alright, okay. So after that good news,
let's all celebrate with watching
my short film clip.
- Boatswain!
- Here, master. What cheer?
- Speak to the mariners. Fall to't yarely 
or we run ourselves aground.
- Bestir, bestir.
- Heigh, my hearts! Take in the topsail.
Cheerly, cheerly, my hearts!
Good Boatswain, where's the master?
- I pray now, keep below.
- Play the men.
- Where is the master, Boatswain?
- Do you not hear him? You mar our labour.
- Keep your cabins.
You do assist the store.
- Nay, be good, be patient.
When the sea is.
 - Cabin, silence.
Trouble us not.
- Good, yet remember whom thou hast aboard.
- None that I love more than myself.
- Use your authority,
if you can command the elements to silence
we will not have to hand a rope any longer.
- Down with the topmast.
- Lower, lower!
Out of our way, I say.
- A pox o' your throat, you blasphemous, 
incharitable dog!
- What do you here?
Have you a mind to sink?
- Hang, cur! Hang, you whoreson,
insolent noisemaker!
We are less afraid to be drowned
than thou art.
- Work you then.
- Set her two courses off to sea again!
Lay her off!
- All lost.
- To prayers, to prayers!
- Let's all sink with the king.
- Let's take leave of him.
- We split, we split.
- We split, we split, we split.
- We split, we split, we split.
- Now would I give a thousand furlongs of sea 
for an acre of barren land,
long heath, brown furze, anything.
The wills above us be done
but I would fain die a dry death.
- Hell is empty and all the devils are here!
- Oh, that was so amazing.
- It was so good.
- Why you guys gassing me like that?
Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
Guys all of that incredible work.
Manjuka, Avery your works was incredible man.
- Bobby the background music.
Brilliant.
- I know wasn't it.
[inaudible]
- Has anyone else got their Uber Eats yet?
- Are we suppose to have had it?
- Yeah, it should be there now.
- Oh guys, I think I got a delivery
at my door.
- Ahh, go on Precious man, go and get it.
Go and get it, come on I'm so gassed.
[inaudible]
- It looked amazing. It was, it was...
- Look why don't we actually collab mate?
- It's just come so far.
[inaudible]
- Toshi? Toshi?
Maybe I could direct a scene like that
maybe at some point, you know,
like a little project like that, like Taate did.
I think that'd be quite interesting.
- Ermm,
email me.
- Wait, wait, wait. Precious is back,
Precious is back.
- Wait, wait, wait.
Eyy yo Precious,
what you saying, what you saying?
- You got it?
- What did you get? Let's see.
- Well, I got one sushi, 
one quinoa?
And twelve loads of chicken and chips.
- What?
- Dear diary,
not sure what day it is,
but it feels like all my days are
merging into one. I miss going out.
I just want it to be normal. 
I just want to breathe.
- A contract of true love to celebrate
- Ceres' blessing so is on you.
- Juno sings her blessings on you. 
- This is the most majestic vision.
- Let's, let's do that again. Okay.
Just add a bit more movement
a bit more rhythm
and when it comes to the vows,
just stretch them out a bit. Cool?
- Okay. Okay.
Quick composer comment.
Um, if we try and make a,
the sort of back, backing track flow a bit more 
and maybe add like a choir effect.
Like have the echoing and Abi, you,
you could help me out on that one. 
- Okay, okay. I like what you're saying.
I like what you're saying.
- Just give it a bit more a je ne sais quoi.

- Hey, party people I am back.
It's the return of the mac.

Like the themes in the tempest.

- Oh yeah. Right. So my hat is the island
and it's got all the characters on it.
- Did you make that yourself?
- So cool.
- So creative.
- Thank you.
- You have put a lot of effort into
that. I like it. I like it. Bobby, Bobby?
- I was thinking cap for a
thinking chap. Like Prospero.
- Nice, Taate?
- Helps me camouflage with all
the leaves in the Island.
- Nice and last but not

So he always, you know? He's a nightmare.
- That's not a habit for a
lot of people, you know?

But the winner is...
Everyone,
so give yourself a big pat on the back.
- Well done, I'll take that, congratulations.
Very, very creative. We love it.
- So guys, I think Toshi has got something to say.
So I'll pass you over to her.
- Yes, yes. Thanks Valentine.
So today we are going to be working on
the wedding scene in act four.
I think this is going to be a great scene.
There's so much room to develop
this scene into something special.
So I would just like to say my vision
for the scene and what I was thinking of
personally. So actually, um,
Manjuka would you like to tell the cast,
what you thought of the wedding scene
and your vision?
- Yeah, sure. So, um,
Toshi and I both decided to go with the wedding
scene because we just thought it's a
great way to bring people
together. We thought it just,
it showcases everyone's skill set in
terms of music and performance.
So, yeah it'd just be a really happy scene to do.
Yeah, exactly what Manjuka said. 
I am, I'm going to ask Taate
if you could put me and Manjuka
in a separate breakout room
and Valentine is gonna lead this room.
Because I would like to hear what everyone
else has to say about this scene
and how you guys can add your
own flair into the scene,
whether it's through costume,
music or just overall aesthetic,
like let's just make this a
collaborative process.
I'm very, very interested in hearing
what you guys have to say and have to add.
- Yeah okay. You should get a notification. 
I've  set up the breakout room.
- Right thanks Taate. 
Right I'll see you guys in a bit.
- Thanks Toshi, thank you.
- Hey Manjuka 
the reason why I asked you to join
me in this room privately is
because I just wanted say sorry.
For my rudeness and my
controlling behavior and it's been
so uncalled for, especially
since you've been so nice to me.
Yeah and I'm truly sorry. Honestly.
Yeah like there were times when you'd asked
for our ideas or for us to work together
collaboratively and you
just never wanted to listen,
listen to me or listen to
anyone else in the group
and it just never felt as if it would,
like there was a safe place where I
could just share my thoughts or opinions.
Yeah. I mean, like
you're completely right.
I didn't make it a safe space
for a collaborative process.
And, I use that word collaborative
so many times and I wasn't even,
wasn't even doing that. I'm literally so
sorry. I mean, you don't deserve that.
You're an amazing creative and I know you are.
That's why I wanted to work with you.
For that reason that I want to give
you full responsibility for act five.
I feel like you would,
you would smash it and this production
is very much your production as well as
is mine and the rest of the cast
production. I really want to,
I really want to see that
collaborative process. So I give it to you.
So wait let me just clarify. So when you say
full responsibility, I've got it all?
- Absolutely everything.
- Well, let's talk about the wedding scene.
So, I'm going to pass it over to
Bobby and Abiarthur.
What do you think about the
music and the instruments?
- Harps.
- Harps.
- Sorry, say that again.
- Harps.
- Harps.
- Harps? Perfect, perfect.
- All great minds think alike.
- Keep that in mind, keep that in mind.
 We'll use harps, that's a good idea
and let me move on to Karen.
What do you think about the set design
and costume kind of thing?
- So, yes, I was actually talking to Blossom on this one.
And we were thinking about playing around
with the silhouettes and accessories.
Yeah and leading on from the harps. 
Even incorporate some of that mysticality.
- Yeah, you know what, I like that idea.
You know what? Keep it, write that down.
Keep that in mind.
Let's, let's start the scene.
So we have Precious as Prospero
and Karen as Miranda, let's start.
- If I have too austerely punished you,
your compensation makes amends, 
for I now give you here a third of mine own life.
- All thy vexations were but trials of thy love
and thou hast honourably stood the test.
Look thou be true
- I feel like your ideas are gonna be amazing.
I'm looking forward to it, boy, like I really am.
Yeah.
I hope, I hope.
- I can see it happening.
- Yeah, I hope,
I mean, at one point in the foreseeable,
I can apologise to you in person
because I think that's necessary.
- Yeah that would be nice as well.
To finally meet you properly.
- That'd be lovely.
- What do you think this scene is about? 
What's it, what's it about?
- For me, it's about love and everyone
creating their own new beginning.
- Okay, thank you.
And, and Karen, what do you think?
- I think it's just after they've been all so divided,
this kind of brings them together.
So it's just representing that unity.
- Okay so, with them thoughts in mind,
keep that and let's run the scene again.
- If I have too austerely punished you,
your compensation makes amends, for I
now give you here a third of mine own life.
- All thy vexations were but trials of thy love
and thou hast honourably stood the test.
Look thou be true.
- As I hope for quiet days,
fair issue and long life.
And for such love, I
have here now. I warant you.
- Approach, Ariel.
My industrious servant, Ariel?
- Approach, Ariel.
My industrious servant, Ariel?
- What would my potent master?
Here I am.
- Go bring the rabble,
Incite them to quick motion.
- Before you can say, come and go.
And breathe twice and cry so, so.
Each one, tripping on his toe.
Will be here with mop and mow.
Do you love me, master?
No
- Dearly my delicate Ariel.
Approach, spirits, which by mine art
I have called from your confines,
to enact my present fancies.
- What hath summoned us here to this short-grassed green?
- A contract of true love to celebrate.
- Approach, Iris
with thy saffron wings upon our flowers
with honey drops and refreshing showers,
with each end of thy coloured bow dost crown,
the wooded acres and unshrubbed down.
Approach, Iris
I'm the Herald of Juno,
the queen of the sky,
with watery arch,
many-coloured messenger am I
Iris' blessing is on you.
- You are the rich scarf to our proud earth.
Approach, most bounteous, rich Ceres.
Spring come to you at the farthest,
in the very end of harvest.
Scarcity and want shall shun you
Ceres' blessing so is on you
- You nymphs called Naiads
of the wandering brooks.
- With your meadow crowns
and ever-harmless looks
- Leave your crisp channels
and on this green land.
- Answer your summons Juno does command.
- The highest of high Queen of state.
 Goddess of the sky approaches.
- With her sovereign grace in this very place,
Juno approaches.
- Honour, riches, marriage-blessing,
long continuance, and increasing
Hourly joys be still upon you. 
- Iris’ blessing is on you.
- Ceres' blessing so is on you.
- Juno’s blessing is on you.
- Come and help to celebrate,
- A contract of true love
- Be not too late.
- Come and help to celebrate,
- A contract of true love
- Be not too late.
- Come and help to celebrate,
- A contract of true love
- Be not too late.
- Come and help to celebrate,
- A contract of true love
- Be not too late.
- Our revels now are ended.
- These our actors were all spirits
and are melted into air, into thin air.
- And like the baseless fabric of this vision
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous temples,
the great globe itself and all which it inherits, 
shall dissolve.
And like this insubstantial pageant faded
leave not a rack behind.
- Be Cheerful.
- We wish you peace.
- Be Cheerful.
- We wish you peace.
- Be Cheerful.
- We wish you peace.
- Be Cheerful.
- We wish you peace.
- Be Cheerful.
- We wish you peace.
- Be Cheerful.
- We wish you peace.
- We are such stuff as dreams are made on
and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.
- Be Cheerful.
- We wish you peace.
- That was amazing.
- That was sick.
- That was clean, like clean, clean.
- Amazing.
