James Martin - GCSE drama

James represented Everett magnificently in his GCSE drama performance. The scene was East London. The plot was a collage of monologues from each GCSE student. Despite the regeneration of the area due to the Olympics, deprivation and depression still exists on the streets and in the hearts of the poor and homeless.

James gave an impressive performance as an empathetic ex 'Westfield Shopping Centre' security guard who feels a sense of responsibility for the lost and lonely people amongst him. James was responsible for orchestrating one of the most powerful 'physical theatre' moments in the piece. As he spoke about the people he cared and worried for, he gently touched each motionless character on the shoulder signalling their cue to move into their positions from the beginning of the performance.

James received one of the highest marks in the group for this performance and has proved his talent for acting in fantastic fashion.
