(B) Scenes
The play has been completed, with 7 scenes and the climax being the Hallucination.

• Scene 6
Tiffany and Sarah's good friend meets up after Sarah's therapy session, and they confer about Sarah's predicament, at the same time accentuating the theme "Broken", which is also the title of our play. Using oxymorons, grave dialougue (at first) and monologues (slowly it transits into one), it portrays Sarah's drastic conditions primarily, but also signifies the strong friendship between Sarah and her friend as well as Tiffany's heart to change.

• Scene 7
There is a blackout in the transition of Scene 6 to Scene 7.
Scene 7 begins with the portrayal of Sarah endeavouring to stand up, but fails and she falls. Her good friend rushes in to help her, and they 'play' with toys in such a way to show concern for Sarah - now in such a dreadful condition she can hardly recognise or identify people, and she holds the mentality of a 5 year old. A disembodied voice (Phoebe) then starts, and it shows guidance and care for Sarah.

The lines are as follows.
A broken doll. She falls, we pick her up. She falls once more, and we pick her up again.
And we set her on her feet.
(pause)
Everytime I look at Sarah, it makes me want to cry. She is now trapped in her own world, her own dreams, and it was the real world that made her this way. But I will not give up.
I believe there is hope, and there is light, and that someday, she will recover. But
until then, I will support her and be by her side forever, and ever, and ever...

(C) Technical Details
We have not yet decided on much techinical details yet, but the exact scene transition to utilise the blackout has been confirmed. There will probably be contemporary music used in scenes involving Sarah's school adversaries and classical, melancholy melodies played softly in the background of the hallucination scene and the last scene. Music used can either be downloaded from the Internet or used from available CDs.

(D) Script
The script has been written, but not finalised and printed.
Playwrights were originally in charge of the script, but as the script is currently with our Director, it will not be possible for the script to be printed and ready by end of holiday.

Meeting was adjourned at 8.00 PM.
