Acting: in order to show the madness, discuss about the rise of volume of my voice, change in tone and the faster rhythm.


Introduction: basic information, date, name, my character, the aim of the essay.

Conclusion: summary of the whole essay. The great experience of the performance.

My understanding of the play and the performance:Tom is tired of his harsh life, so he put all his stress on writing in order to relieve. He is also annoyed by his mother who has been talking too much throughout his life. Laura is the only person Tom loves in this play.
