Billy Liar :: Drama

How I Would gaming billyPage 36, Act 2, Lines Rita, will you listen for one narrow-minded No,listen to what Im telling you Until Page 39, Lines He groundworkt washhimself, never mind the pots.The reason I chose he-goat to discuss how I would chat up his role in theplay is non only I was him in the short guesswork presented to the class,but he has more to him than meets the eye.There are so many things which distinguish Billy character, and retracehim unique. Billy is proposed to three different girls, he startstells small fibs to make his life sound more interesting, butgradually people score that he is lying and he makes up more lies toget himself pop out of trouble.

The ring is certainl y not at thejewellers, it is sitting on Barbaras finger.During the phone call I would have Billy walking back and cardinalth aboutfour steps at a time.
