winfield character

Winfield who is a 10 year old boy, because he is the youngest character in the play he has the least power because of this, all the characters push him around, when we were acting out the dinner scene i was kicked out of my chair by danny's character, i feel like im going to play this character as a quite boy who keeps to himself as he doesn’t actually say much even around his family, because Winfield is a young boy he is going to move a lot so I plan to only stand still very rarely and when ever I have to stand/sit I will still move because young children rarely sit still. I plan to base Winfield loosely around Mickey and Eddie from blood brothers, I want to base him around Mickey’s movement and Eddies quite personality, I think Winfield doesn’t say much because he is too young to understand what is happening and because of this I fell he will adapt to life on the road better than the other family members. When Tom first appears he says hello to Winfield, I would expect a young boy who hadn’t seen his brother tom since he was six would be really excited about Tom finally coming home but all Winfield does is say ‘hello’ then runs off, this could show that Winfield is not comfortable around new people, even know Tom is his brother, because he hasn’t been there for four years it means that to Winfield he is a stranger and he could be scared of Tom because of all the stories of how he killed a man with a shovel.
