GENRE, STYLE & CONVENTION:
The type of the genre in our play is tragedy, because it shows the hard situation that Mariam was in and when she was deported and when she walked towards the audience and said 'sorry Laila, I tried my best' that made the audience feel sorry for her situation. The style of the play was Naturalistic because nothing was over the top. However, we used many conventions in the play. Also, we used tableau and thought tracking when the two refugees were escaping.
SEMIOTICS:
In the play, we showed the distance between the characters in the camp scene and the characters were close. Also showed the facial expressions in the court scene when the judge deports Mariam and then the lawyers who wanted to deport the girl jumps and cheer because they have won the case and the other lawyers became sad and looked at the floor.
I thought that the end bit was really good because it showed Mariam's facial expression and her low tone of her voice when she was walking towards the audience it made the audience feel once again sorry for the teenager girl whose life has become worse and worse.
