Dear mum

Mum i know you understand what i did was okay and that you understand why I did it. You know how i just wanted Natty to be mine and now shes om heaven where no one else can have her till im out off here and i can join her. Shes lovely and so pretty and cute. Was i like that when i was little mum did you want me all to yourself just like i wanted Natty did you love me like i loved Natty. I can't wait to get out off here we could go to Rome like you did before as we were talking about Romans the other day and i would love to see what its really like. I really just wish I didnt have to be on these drugs anymore i just can't think like I used to and i miss that. Do you miss me mum? Do you really miss me? Cause i really do miss you

Love Rose 

Rose from Kinseys point of view

Rose is completely and utterly thick. No wonder she got caught for what she did. I know we all got court which i suppose you can say im stupid too really. Although she doesn't get it she thinks what she did was okay, that people need to know the truth but it not okay what she did to that little girl Natty. Its not alright what I did but I know its wrong but nothing will every be alright for us again. People are just lining up at the door. George and I then Rose in close second. The drugs she on I just don't get it surely shes not smart enough to do anything without the drugs. I think that she just needs to shut up about Natty. We get it. You used to baby sit and everything but come on, let it go. It's in the past for a reason. Oh and that stupid fucking rule book. No one really cares about it and then all of a sudden in the middle of a discussion, we are reminded of every fucking rule in the book. We don't care. We don't care about a fucking word that Rose has to say but she just doesn't stop. The thought of being stuck with her for a long time seeing her everyday makes me regret what I did even more.

The play itself

The play was made for the National theatres connections

why she is here: she guessed with pianos and/or hammer. the child is guessed to be one she babysat. we also know that what she did would make people sick to hear.
Family: Her parents think what she did was disgustig but she talks about her mum so i believe she is unaware of how her parent must feel about her. This is probably to do with the fact she is on drugs in order to control her.

other qualities: child like, drugged up, head in the clouds and smart but covered up by the drugs.
introvert/extrovert: Extrovert
deals with emotions: she doesnt like confrentation all though she always is the one trying to cause it and most the time it seem like she is doing it on purpose. she can also get angry very quickly about things like she cares about for example her rule book. She also get offended easily and believe people are picking on her alot.
Relationships she has with other characters:
she is firstly very sympathetic towards spec as everyone bullies him however. she also likes specs but she pretends that she doesn't to fit in with everyone else as she doesnt want to fit in. specs also seeks friendship in Rose so specs looks after him.
Allan is a person that Rose doesn't understand and doesn't get why he react in such a negative way to her. she also thinks Allans opinion are stupid and doesn't want Allan to be rude. However their relationship does improve through out the play at the begining they argue alot but as the play goes on and Allan talks about his past she begins to grow on him and him on her as she starts to show an interest in him.
Roses relationship with George is very wierd and he treats her as a little child and speaks to her like she doesnt understand. He also knows when Rose need help so always helps her out by looking out for her and she feels safe in his presence.
Kinsey thinks Rose is thick and misunderstand that this is because she takes drugs and this is why he gets annoyed at Rose as he doesn't get her.
Rose loves to wind up Milo even though she doesn't understand why he get angry quickly. Rose trys to wind him up for a joke as she thinks they are friend and she wants him to understand her.
short term goals: get the the important of being earnest done
Long term goals: get out off the institute and let people know the 'truth'
