We first decided on a play. We are going to be doing the play 'Stags and Hens'. The play focuses on a group of girls and local lads who venture out for a night of pre-marriage stag and hen party celebrations. The action takes place in the Gents and Ladies loos of a tacky Liverpool club, Bransky's, where Dave and Linda (bride and groom-to-be) have decided, unbeknownst to each other, to hold their stag and hen parties.
Linda runs into her old boyfriend, Peter, a musician with a single climbing up the pop charts, but who is back in Liverpool on this particular night - playing a gig at Branskys.
Whilst entering the club, Dave, in a drunken stupor, becomes ill from the indian curry he ate (washed down with a copious mix of cider and Guiness) and spends the remainder of the evening (and the play) in the Gents, with his head down the lavatory bowl!
His mates, including Kas, and gang leader Eddie decide to take the law into their own hands when they suspect that Linda has developed a crush on Peter and may be having second thoughts about marrying Dave.
We then discussed this and made sure everyone was aware of what the play is about and decided that we should all go away and research the play and then come back in our next meeting with notes we had made from finding out more, that would help within our business presentation. We also realized that we would need to check if we could have the rights to put on this show for real. So we asked Samuel French by both phone and e-mail. We wanted to make sure that it was obvious that we actually had the rights so we would need written proof like the e-mail. Here is the evidence -
We were also told for our presentation we will need to make an approach to our tutor inviting her to come and watch our presentation as she will be some what of an investor who we need funding from. It has to be an interesting way to approach her other wise she wont be persuaded to come. So we have to come up with a unique invitation.
We decieded a bridal hamper would be best suited for our approach considering its about a wedding scenario. This bridal hamper will be portrayed as an invitation to the Hen Party (so as if our tutor is the bride). It will include a feather boa, L plates, a bridal sash and little veil etc. Obviously not forgetting the invitation itself.
On the invitation it needs to have the writings of -

As well as this we have to take part in the company meetings to keep everyone updated on the company movements and presentation. We can use means of social media to have these meetings like a group direct messenger chart or even a Skype. A couple of rules for the meetings which I had I decided then shared with the rest of the group were...
- No Phones
- Must attend unoless good reason not to
- Three strikes and you are out
- Discussions must be frequent
I made this so that everyone could be giving 100% focus within these meetings.
We decided we need to discuss our positions and how we are going to achieve an advanced level presentation in our first official meeting.
