At first I was really unhappy with my group- we had a sort of system whereby you wrote down who you wanted to work with, who you didn't want to work with and who you you didn't mind working with, and then the CPA head teacher (not our biased drama teacher) would put together the groups, but they all rigged it so I pretty much had no choice.
Then I decided to make it work, though it got rarer and rarer for everyone to turn up to rehearsal and we didn't get anywhere.
Then we switched to a topic that I really couldnt stand, and I basically got absolutely sick of working with them and I was really upset (being the highly strung drama queen that I am when it comes to marks etc.), so we had an 'intervention' with the head teacher and our drama teacher. It was pretty intense, and the afterwards not much seemed to improve except that I was bolder about giving them a piece of my mind.
Then, 4 weeks until our trials, we came up with a new topic, and everything pretty much went uphill from there. Our drama teacher was really impressed and surprised at our trial, and even more so when we made it super-good for our showcase, ansd now our HSC is in 3 days and i'm actually pretty happy with it, despite all the trials and tribulations we went through. My IP though, that's a different story...(what sort of idiot does theatre reviewing, gaargh!).
Have hope and good luck everyone!!!
