Religion - Sexuality - Mental health 4) Looking at the setting, the costumes expressions on the characters faces (mise-en-scene) how does it represent the location. Setting Eastenders is set in Albert Square located in the in backlot of the BBC Elstree Centre Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. Settings used are mostly the café and the Restaurant. I think this shows that the community is quite sociable. In most scenes more than one household involved, a mixture of people in each house. E.g. Masood at Dot’s house and Roxy at Jack’s house. Body language and facial expressions Depending on what the storyline is they sometimes look happy or sad at the start of most episodes. Some characters are see in their pyjamas. From the photo above the cast members show a wild range of facial expressions. Some cast simply flashing a smile and some looking a bit exhausted. This may suggest that the cast members are delighted to be amongst each other as a community. The poster shows many expressions behind it. Mise-en-Scene Eastenders builds realistic views of working class families to try represent the typical codes and conventions of working class families. This also includes the location in which it is set in which shows a huge effect so audience/viewers can familiarize themselves with the way the characters live. The clothing used in Eastenders is highly realistic as this suggests the class background. E.g. some characters are often seen in suits or shirts, where as some characters could wear something that may seem to the audience/viewers as “scruffy”. This indicates that the characters come from different sorts of backgrounds. E.g. A Upper Middle Class – the Hubbard family and the Bill family and C2 Skilled Working Class – the 6 Carter family + 2 other characters. The mise-en-scene also reflects to the lighting which creates the sense of realism. This could also create different meanings that allows audiences/viewers to generate new ideas and begin to “stereotype” in a way that some characters are labelled either positively or negatively. 5) Why has the producer included all these types of characters? I think the reason why the producer included all these types of characters was to make to spice things up making it exciting and interesting. This also helps create the tension and atmosphere of the show due to the circumstances they are facing. 6) Which types of social issues could some of the characters have in the storylines? a) Religion b) Mental health c) Work and occupations d) Sexuality 7 .

    The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: the Life Cycle of the Child Performer

    UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Humanities Faculty School of Music April 2016 \A person's a person, no matter how small." Dr. Seuss UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHAMPTON Abstract Humanities Faculty School of Music Doctor of Philosophy The Seven Ages of Musical Theatre: The life cycle of the child performer by Lyndsay Barnbrook The purpose of the research reported here is to explore the part played by children in musical theatre. It aims to do this on two levels. It presents, for the first time, an historical analysis of involvement of children in theatre from its earliest beginnings to the current date. It is clear from this analysis that the role children played in the evolution of theatre has been both substantial and influential, with evidence of a number of recurring themes. Children have invariably made strong contributions in terms of music, dance and spectacle, and have been especially prominent in musical comedy. Playwrights have exploited precocity for comedic purposes, innocence to deliver difficult political messages in a way that is deemed acceptable by theatre audiences, and youth, recognising the emotional leverage to be obtained by appealing to more primitive instincts, notably sentimentality and, more contentiously, prurience. Every age has had its child prodigies and it is they who tend to make the headlines. However the influence of educators and entrepreneurs, artistically and commercially, is often underestimated. Although figures such as Wescott, Henslowe and Harris have been recognised by historians, some of the more recent architects of musical theatre, like Noreen Bush, are largely unheard of outside the theatre community.

The anniversary week will see a tempestuous week of drama with shocking revelations, story twists that will leave a lump in the throat and moments that will elicit gasps from fans. With storylines culminating and momentous events happening, the EastEnders 30th Anniversary will take its place in television history and change Albert Square forever. Viewers will discover who killed Lucy Beale and have an opportunity to see exactly how and why it happened as EastEnders takes viewers back to the night she was murdered in a flashback special at 7.25pm on Wednesday March 4, directly after an hour-long episode.

Hetti Bywater will be reprising her role as Lucy Beale, Tanya Franks returns as Rainie Cross and Jamie Lomas as Jake Stone. The week will also see the return of some of EastEnders most iconic characters.

    25 Years of Eastenders – but Who Is the Best Loved Character? Submitted By: 10 Yetis PR and Marketing Wednesday, 17 February 2010

    25 years of Eastenders – but who is the best loved character? Submitted by: 10 Yetis PR and Marketing Wednesday, 17 February 2010 More than 2,300 members of the public were asked to vote for the Eastenders character they’d most like to share a takeaway with – with Alfie Moon, played by actor Shane Ritchie, topping the list of most loved characters. Janine Butcher is the most hated character from the last 25 years, with three quarters of the public admitting they disliked her. Friday marks the 25th anniversary of popular British soap Eastenders, with a half hour live special episode. To commemorate the occasion, the UK’s leading takeaway website www.Just-Eat.co.uk (http://www.just-eat.co.uk) asked 2,310 members of the public to list the character they’d most like to ‘have a takeaway with’, in the style of the age old ‘who would you invite to a dinner party’ question. When asked the multi-answer question, “Which Eastenders characters from the last 25 years would you most like to share a takeaway meal with?’, Shane Richie’s Alfie Moon, who first appeared in 2002 topped the poll with 42% of votes. The study was entirely hypothetical, and as such included characters which may no longer be alive. Wellard, primarily owned by Robbie Jackson and Gus Smith was introduced to the show in 1994, and ranked as the 5th most popular character to share a takeaway with. 1.Alfie Moon – 42% 2.Kat Slater – 36% 3.Nigel Bates – 34% 4.Grant Mitchell – 33% 5.Wellard the Dog – 30% 6.Peggy Mitchell – 29% 7.Arthur Fowler – 26% 8.Dot Cotton – 25% 9.Ethyl Skinner – 22% 10.Pat Butcher – 20% The poll also asked respondents to list the characters they loved to hate, with Janine Butcher, who has been portrayed by Rebecca Michael, Alexia Demetriou and most recently Charlie Brooks topping the list of the soaps most hated, with nearly three quarters of the public saying listing her as their least favourite character.
