  industry. He and his friend Pappu are trying to
  succeed in the movie industry. Om's mother
  inspires and encourages her son to become a
  success. He dreams of becoming a 'hero' one day
  on the big screen. He is in love with the
  country's heart throb and movie actress, Shanti,
  who is very successful and famous. Om goes to the
  premiere of her upcoming movie Dreamy Girl and
  sneaks in, claiming he is a famous actor.
• On another occasion, during a shooting of a
  movie, where Om is acting as a junior artist, he
  notices Shanti is caught in the middle of a fire

News story theatre

• Working groups of no more than five, you are
  going to create a news report on events from the
  film set fire.
• Essentially there are going to be two different
  settings for this piece - one in the studio and
  the other one will be the film set, with the
  roving reporter.
• In order to do this successfully, the performance
  space will be divided in two, creating a split
  stage. Although the performers in the two
  different halves will be stood next to one
  another, they need to assume that they can not
  see each other.

• A is sat at the news desk, introducing the
  programme and providing some sense of formality
  to the proceedings.
• B is the roving reporter, live at the film set,
  who interviews eyewitness (C) who will give a
  personal account of events. C could be an actor,
  cameraman or the director. At the end of the
  interview, B should hand back to the studio.
• D, a spokesperson for Shanti, will be interviewed
  by A, giving their opinion on recent events and
  giving an update on her health and whether or not
  she will continue to shoot the film.
• At the end of that interview, hand back to B (on
  location) who will interview a second eyewitness,
  E, summarising the situation before handing back
  to the studio where A will give a reminder of key
  events.
