This was fun. It was interesting experiencing a character that was at each end of the wealth board - rich and poor - as personally I am neither but in the middle.
When I was playing an upper class rich character, I immediately went to the stereotypical idea of someone like that: straight back, high head, sour face, pinky fingers out, looking down on anyone and everyone. When I became the poor thief and pick pocketer, my physicality went the completely opposite way: bent backs, eyes to the floor, dead expression. It was interesting as both classes are in the play and although my character is also in the middle, I find I can now relate to both my superior officers in the play and the peasant convicts and understand them better.
