The two items I will be comparing for my response are;
             1) The play "My mother said I never should"
             2) A scene from the TV soap, Eastenders.
             We have chosen to compare these two pieces because there is an uncanny
             the resemblance between the characters on both pieces; also the story
             The play "My mother said I never should" is a theatre production which
             has been performed all over England. It is a scripted play and can be
             adapted to suit the audience. The time scale varies in M.M.S.I.N.S and
             ranges from the 18th century to the 1990s, it is set in a rural area
             in Manchester and the characters were brought up in the same family.
             Eastenders is a TV soap, series, broadcasted on BBC1 regularly; it is
             set in modern-day East London in an area called Walford.
             The main point of M.M.S.I.N.S is the fact that a woman gives birth to
             a child when she is very young, her mother then takes responsibility
             for the child and they are brought up as sisters. The Characters are
             supposedly one family yet in the waste ground scenes they are all the
             children of their character, even though they are from different
             generations. Rosie (the child) discovers the truth of her parentage
             when she find's her birth certificate prior to her mother's funeral.
             There is a lot of friction between the characters and this is clearly
             shown in the play. (Detailed description later in essay)
             In Eastenders, The Slater family (who I am focusing this essay on) are
             very close and spend an evening celebrating in a local restaurant,
             suddenly a blazing row sparks up between Kat (the eldest) and Zoe (the
             youngest).Zoe believes that Kat is her older sister. They exit the
             restaurant and continue to argue on the street, Zoe states that she is
             fed up of Kat trying to control her, and shouts 'Don't tell me what to
             do.. YOU'RE not my mother' then after a short, awkward pause, Kat
             cries 'YES I AM' and the revelation is complete.
