Great big gestures. Huh! What cheek! Cara made me sick. I did not do great big gestures… They were only small… Well okay, quite big, but that’s because you have to exaggerate things on the stage. It’s not like acting in a film. You can’t be subtle or the audience won’t get it. And why weren’t we told before about the stage being amplified? It’s not fair on the Year Sevens. And especially not fair on me. I went to loads of trouble to learn all my lines, and I learned all Aunt March’s and Hannah’s lines, just in case… But Susie Perkins. Susie Perkins! I yanked the script out of my bag to see how many lines Susie Perkins had actually got. Then I rammed it straight back in again because I decided I didn’t care. I knew it was a pathetic little part and there was no way I was going to settle for that. In fact I didn’t want anything more to do with the whole stupid play. Cara Ravenscroft could go and stuff herself and so could Miss Pritchard. More subtle and refined, indeed!
