All of 3 Styles for Draft 2 have gone up!
Written Style 3 Draft 3
The story of Pinocchio has been around for 100’s of years, there has been many adaption of this story. Most people well know this story as many people would have seen the Disney version as a child with their family.
This is not the first time Chicken Shed has done Pinocchio as a Christmas show, but the difference is with a the Chickenshed version that it does not have your normal pantomime styles show as many different companies put on at Christmas time.
Pinocchio is so known for the Disney sometimes when come to see a theatre version of the story people want it to be the same as the one they loved as a child. But with the version of the story the way that it has been done has taken so far way of the from the Disney version but still have the magic of the story and Film.
As someone who as a child I was not fan of the story I do feel that after seen this production of this show I do feel that it has changed my point of view on this story. As they have taken this story and made it not as dark as it is in the book and they have done this by making the story more fun based then the way it was before as they have taken out the bit where the children that skip school and go and have fun and drink beer and smoke by taken them to the land of Freetime but still keeping the fact that they turn in to donkeys but not showing them turn in to them as some companies have done. Which I feel has made the story have the feel of more of a family feel to it has before it was a bit dark for children.
A never big way that I do feel that they have made the story more of a family story is by add some many songs in to the show which feel more like a family show and also gives the audience more of a chance to feel a part of the show and also helps it be more of a open piece of work as if you have never seen the Disney version you can still full in love with these songs.
Pinocchio has had many different versions of its story. I do feel that the most loved versions of the story. But I do believe that people are still going to have the Disney version as the most loved one of all time but I do feel that this version of Pinocchio does show you a different side to this lovely story by given it more of a Family feel to it by leaving the Dark side of the story out.

Written Task 2 Deft 2
The stage was sit all the audience was in there seats. Backstage there was no sound it was like everyone was just in the zone of the show. Everyone was waiting for the 1st song in Act 2 to start. I could feel the air passing thought my hair it was like I was outside on the street where Pinocchio house was.
All kids in the show were so taken in by the hype of the show. So the lights went up you could feel the bass from the drums in your skin the lights in the back stage area where blue like the sea. The School Boys was going to start any second all the boys were ready you could feel there characters were coming alive even in the backstage area you could feel the audience was have a good time in the show so that overwhelming feeling was coming as you wait to go on the stage as is was the first time they were going to meet the school boys.
So the time come and it was time to go on stage I could butterflies in my stomach as I want this scene to go so well. So the time came to go on stage the lights were really bright the audience where still amazed at the fairies that were on stage you could still see some of the blue piece of material on the floor of the stage that the fairy’s costumes lifted.
It was time now to the start the scene the teacher came on stage and just like that all the feelings that every single kid that was on stage felt just went away for the next 15mins as it felt like we went in to a never world so then by start of the song which was ‘Freetime’ we all could feel that the audience where loving our scene. So it was time to start to do our dance you could see each and every audience members face just look at you to see what we going to do in this dance.
