Set Solution II

Yesterday we had our technical induction at the playhouse.

It was good to be able to walk around the stage and get a feel for the space. Our ideas for the set are starting to change and after our next meeting I imagine we shall have something more concrete firmed up.

I am keen to include some water on stage as I think this will make a nice focal point and is something tactile (and audible) for the characters to interact with. Rather than a pillar stage left which we decided would be overkill we are now toying with having Hanschen's loo there as a permanent feature with a rather oversized overhead cistern to balance our stage right tree.

I also think a nice idea would be to have Wendla's gravestone on stage from the very beginning of the play.

For god's sake don't have water on stage. The audience will spend the whole time going to the toilet.... no no no no bad idea.
