Today I performed a scene with Amanda, who plays Ma, which was a one on one chat between the characters. I found that even though I was still playing Al, he was completely different to in the scene that we performed yesterday, the stage directions made him seem older. Think this is because Al has had to be more protective and mature for his family because of the conditions and that his eldest brother has a disability, and Tom has been in prison, so in the scene with just Al and Ma, Al might feel like he has to take on some more of that maturity but when Tom's around, the maturity can be dropped and Al can be more like a 16 year old if he wants.
