Thinking Like A Director
1. The process of developing an approach is the prelude to working out a design. And while the director is responsible for all aspects of a production, she has a distinct choice in developing the visual elements.
2. To create an effective overall vision, an approach must take into account the play's central conflict and have a point of view about its world.
3. Try reading the play once, at a relatively early stage, for images rather than story and action. Imagine you're shooting a film, and take notes whenever images come to you.
4. The metaphor was a place that when literalized became a strong design statement and an effective environment for comedy.
5. In thinking about the setting for a production, I ask two questions: How important are the original time and place to the action? And how accessible is the play to a modern audience?
Confusing:
After a play outlives its author and takes on an afterlife, it becomes available to a greater range of interpretation.
