English Play
English play, I'm rather dedicated to it really. Our play is basically inspired by the movie Pursuit for Happiness. The first story is very similar to the real movie. So I decided to change that story almost completely. So here's the story:
Leandro is a male young adult. He lives with his family who, are very ambitious. They want Leandro to excel greatly in academics, which unfortunately he is not very good at. Instead, he excels in music, playing the guitar to be exact. One day, he and his family went to visit another city nearby. There Leandro was left by his parents, with only his guitar and a few dollars. He tries to find a job but was rejected. He then starts performing in the streets not too long afterwards he meets friends of his named, Cruz* and Reina*. They both work at the nearby bar and asked Leandro to join them. Leandro had fun with them. Thought they also were into beer and those things. One night, Cruz persuades Leandro to join him and Reina in their gimmick. Leandro, having not much of a choice accepted. They went to a store, one late night, broke in and stole a large amount of money. Leandro, after a long time of thinking, he decides to let go of Cruz and Reina as well as his job. So now he's back in the streets. Paula*, an assistant manager who is in search for a musician that would mark the history of music, passes by Leandro and hears his guitar playing. She brings him to her boss, Rusell*. He aids Leandro rise up in the music industry. Juse when things were going great, he is accused of steeling money(remember the part where Cruz and Reina bring Leandro to their gimmick?). Just when he is about to be sent to jail Reina runs into the court and gives enough evidence to prison Cruz and free Leandro.
Notes:
-the ones with an asterisk(*) are unofficial names.
-I'm still planning to change the begining of the play because leaving your son in another city does not seem.... "complete".
-I'm still adding more detail to what happened during their gimmick
