evaluation of the performance day

At the start of our rehearsals we all did research into Polynesian culture and victorian culture, from this we began to devise the play. this tok uch longer than we had first anticipated as people were not learning lines fast enough and 

We only got to perform in the space on the day of the performance which caused several difficultys as we were unsure of exactly how the space was layed out, this made the morning of the rehearsal very difficulty and we had to focus to do the first run through. the space had several differences to how we thought the space was laied out, for example there was not right stage stairs to the lower level, there was also not a door underneath the balcony, but curtains, the top balcony didnt have much space and was a health and safety hazard because the bar was quite low meaning we had to be cautious when up there.
he first run through took us 7 hours and was very unsuccessful, it was a push to make the cast realize how hard we needed to work to make the performance come together. some of the cast didn't know there cues or lines which was a serious issues that we had to deal with, after doing the first run through we had improved alot and the second run we done went much better, by this point we all knew what we were doing and was ready to perform. 
The final performance went quite well, nobody nociably missed there cues or forgot lines and we performed confidently and convincingly. altought he plot of the play was confusing we performed it to the best of our capability and i thought overall the plot was understandable and entertaining.
