Family table scene

In this scene Tom comes home and the family welcomes him with open arms. In this scene i play weinfield.

In this scene i walk on with uncle John who speaks to Tom. Tom says "how you kid" to me but because weinfield proberly doesnt remember tom due to his young age he only says "hello" uncle John then gets me to set up the table. The first time we done this it went a bit slow but the more and more we rehersed we got more comfortable with the stage and where props are. I run around a lot in this scene as i am playimg a 10 year old but Pa and uncle John both tell me to calm down so i sat on the end seat of the table next to Noah, i almost block Noah from the audience so when i sat down i made sure to sit hunched with me lega crossed on the chair to make sure he was visible. When Al comes in he kicks me off the seat, this is to represent that weinfield is the least powerful person in the family and is pushed around by the whole family. I found it difficult to play such a young character in the era the play is set as i did not know if he would understand or relise how his family where struggling in the time but i feel the more we rehersed the more i got into the head of weinfield and starting to think like him.
