Rebellion Leaflet script
(The cleaner is sitting discussing to audience members and handing out leaflets, cook one (leader) sees paper with a sign on and walks over)
Cook one: What are these you are hiding?
Cleaner: (tries to hide the leaflet) Nothing, just some leaflets about the newspeak dictionary.
(Cook one takes a leaflet from a member of the audience, which shows a rebel organisation)
Cook one: What do you think you are doing? Give me all of these right now (Shouting) (to cleaner) you here now, stand there. (To the audience) Whatever these leaflets are telling you they are wrong, they are lies. The party is double plus good and should have your full support. The party give us our homes and our jobs, they protect us from war and we cannot live without them. Big brother is our leader and we should all love him, he is our protector and anyone who disagrees is WRONG!
Cleaner: Don’t listen to her /him, don’t let her contr…
Cook one: ENOUGH! You two (choses to audience members) in the corner now. (To cleaner) Who made you hand out these leaflets, tell me now!
Cleaner: NEVER (shouts)
Cook one: (to audience) how are you involved in this?
IMPROVISATION with two audience members and cleaner
Cook One: right, because you’re not telling me the truth or who has put you up to this, I’m going to have to take you to O’Brien and he will decide your fate from there.
Cleaner: NO PLEASE HE WILL SEND ME TO ROOM 101 PLEASE IM SORRY PLEASE.
Cook One: This is my duty and I must see it through.
(Take to O’Brien’s office more IMPROVISATION)
Stealing of food
Cook 2 stops working and goes other to the kitchen area, thinking no one is looking, she grabs some bread and hide’s it in her pocket. Cook 1 catches her and walks over to where cook 1 has continued to work pretending she didn’t steal a thing.
Cook 1: What do you think you’re doing? Put it back now!
Cook 2: (Nervously) I…I have no idea what you’re talking about
Cook 1: The Bread! Put it back now!
Cook 2: I...I don’t have any (nervously fiddles with the pocket the bread is in)
Cook 1: (Looks down at her pocket of where cook 1 is fiddling, and pulls the bread out) what is this? BREAD! That’s what!
(she grabs hold of cook 2 and drags her towards the back of the food hall, cook 2 starts screaming, she gets thrown out the door.)
Cook 2: (she screams through the door) NO! PLEASE!!! I DIDN’T MEAN TO!
(Cook 1 walks through the door and slams it shut behind her, cook 2 is still screaming, a slam comes from behind the door. The screaming suddenly stops; cook 1 returns and carries on working as if nothing happened)
Multimedia Plans.
Lighting - Dark, dim lighting - Flickering lights.

Live feed - filming audience in canteen.
Equipment:
Camera in our room in a position where it can see everyone, and a screen that is connected to it in O'Brien's office.
Idea:
So that the audience can see they are being watched when they go look in O'Brien's office they will realise they were being watched in the canteen without knowing.
Screen - to show notices and slogans

For this we will need a TV or Computer screen and have an ongoing video always playing. The screen will have to be quite big so that everyone can see it, therefore we might have to use a projector.
