Life of John
PRODUCTION
SUMMARY
A quick summary of the production. The guys in the group initiated the ideas after thinking about all the different emotions they felt throughout their lives and created this story to emphasise these intense emotions. The lead character called John has a perfect life to start with and a happy childhood. After a while things start to go wrong when his dad leaves and then his mother dies. John is then taken into care and he starts to hang around with peers who are a negative influence. John spends time bouncing in and out of prison with short sentences, each time building up strength in the gym and then coming out and re offending. Within prison John also makes an enemy who he meets when he is released. There is an altercation between himself and the enemy and John receives a longer prison sentence for this. Within his long sentence John turns to drugs and receives parcels over the wall. Finally, John and his parcels gets caught and he is sent to solitary confinement. Around this time John meets an influential person called Reggi Hibhen who speaks with John and helps him to see abetter path for himself. John thinks about what Reggi said for some time and then goes on to use his time in prison in a productive way. The story ends with John receiving D cat and eventually being released from prison. Once on the outside John is determined to change his ways and finally meets a wife and has his own son. John chooses to call his son Reggi. The group chose the name Reggi Hibhen as it is an anagram for Higher Being, as they felt this would give the story a spiritual aspect without being religion specific.
