Robert Shillieto – Armagh Project 2015

Argmah same little town

Armagh is just a small little town I thought it was and I love it. Even though it’s small it has almost everything I need in the square. There is not much to say about what I first thought of … Continue reading →

Rehearsing

Robert Shillieto — Fri, 24 Jul 2015 09:00:56 +0000

As a playwright, seeing the rehearsing process was nice. I got to see how some parts of my work needed touch-up, because it did not sound right spoken but was perfectly fine when read. Then I also noticed the opposite happening. I have a moment in my script where the actors pretty much said, Father, father, Father, Father, father, which looks bad read but it’s great when it’s performed.

my audience

My audience is a group of people who have come to enjoy themselves. It’s my duty as a writer to make them feel the emotions I am expressing through my work. I like to write work that makes them think about the things others do for them in life but at the same time give them a good laugh to make them feel better. My audience just needs to come in with an open mind and leave the rest to me. I will serve up a piece that can make them laugh their troubles away.

Sherry

Sherry may or may not be here real name, and I only saw her for a second but that was all I needed to come up with her back story. Sherry is a hard working girl who works 10 hours a day just to get by. She has been saving every penny, so she can get this new outfit and go clubbing with her girls on Saturday night. Spends all week picking out the perfect clothes because it’s been so long since she has been out and she wants to look her best. Saturday night comes around and she is out there dancing like its no ones watching her, and then in the comer of her eye she sees someone with the same outfit as her. Sherry spends so much time in looking good and original she did not care for anyone taking her look, so she starts beating this poor girl up. Next thing Sherry knows is she is lying on the floor with the police handcuffing her; and this is actually when I walk pass her, hearing her say “I did not do anything; you should of been arresting that girl who stole my dress.”

Mr.Lynch I have a question

Is it possible to live off the money you make as a playwright? I know it all depends on how good you are as a writer, but what I want to know is do you get paid for the play … Continue reading →

Goddess Brigid or Saint Brigid

When a god becomes a saint. When a Father cares too much for his Daughter. When a priest conquers for his lord. #GoddessSaintBrigid

Adventuring Dublin

Robert Shillieto — Sun, 12 Jul 2015 17:49:19 +0000

Dublin has been fantastic to just wonder around and people watch. During the day, it’s filled with tourists and at night every one is hurrying to their favorite bar. There is so much to do here, but I find myself lacking in the amount of time I would need to truly enjoy Dublin to its fullest. I know everyone says “go to the Guinness factory”; well, for once, everyone was right. Even if you don’t do the tour group, it’s a sight to see and it’s an experience you will never forget.

The Moving Shadows

Robert Shillieto — Sun, 12 Jul 2015 08:35:34 +0000

Shadow of a Gunman was an interesting play but i was shock to see how much movement the actors did during the play. When I read the play it seemed like Donald did not move much from his chair, but the play had him moving all around the play. Donald used up all the space in the theater like a child does on a new play ground. I also pleasantly surprised that instead of an intermission the actors quickly set up the stage and shown what might of been happening during the time the Arthur did not right about.

Dancing at Lughnasa Sisters

Robert Shillieto — Fri, 10 Jul 2015 07:12:45 +0000

Kate has been the mother of the group every sense their mom died. She puts the weight of the world on her shoulder and tries to be the strong one. There are times she will break down and her sister Maggie will have to be the one who takes care of her.

Maggie she tries to be almost care free, the joker. Likes to think everything is going to be ok and one day she will get her man. She can relax because her sister Kate has put all the responsibility on her self. Though being the joker in the family is not easy, its her job to make every feel better when they are down, and if that means telling a bad riddle or just coming up with something new for dinner she is there to cheer up the family.

Agnes is the loner. She is working hard for her and Rose, never giving on that girl. she cares for Rose like she is her own daughter. She hates feeling like a burden to the family and right now she is the bread maker of the family but soon when she has no job she will not be able to look her family in the face.

Rose the child of heart. She is the youngest of the four and the slowest. This girl loves her family but hates how she is treated. She may be slow but she is never given a chance to do something on her own, never given the chance to learn. Rose trust Agnes more then anyone, in fact to much. it is Agnes who brings her down the wrong path.

Resonating With Armagh

Robert Shillieto — Fri, 10 Jul 2015 06:35:41 +0000

My time that I have spent here has just been wonderful. I feel more alive every day that I am here in Armagh. The air just feels so clean and my body just feels refresh every day. This little town has everything i need and a easy way to get there. The walking has been great to my knee and I am seeing great signs of improvement. To be honest I don’t see anything special about this town to make it stand out but that too is refreshing. I just know every day is going to be a good day when i go out and breath in that fresh air.
