Character Development Scenes.

As we are producing a completely original piece of theatre we do not have the security of performing a well known play, which audiences may have preconceptions of characters backgrounds, personalities that the play therefore can miss out and take as a given to their audiences. I therefore believe it is important to offer the audience more of an incite into our characters, each having important back stories created in our casting session workshop that i believe we need to bring to the audiences attention.

It is a difficult task trying to relay information without making it seem as a necessary scene in order to continue with the rest of the play. I therefore believe that to contrast the naturalistic setting our script has created quite reminiscent of a fairytale, we can have a parallel surrealist movement woven into the play, representing a cryptic look into each characters pasts or current issues that have made them the the way they are today, without looking too matter of fact. The following scenes will be completely comprised of stage directions and no dialogue to play to the ‘tech heavy’ side of our production.
