Dream.

After the script was given to Stephanie Doe- Director for edits it was given back with new added scenes. These scenes were called ‘dream scenes’ and each character would have one during the performance. The ‘dream scenes’ helped link all scenes together and also brought a fairy tale element to the production. They helped the audience to understand characters and their emotions as they each explained a bit about the character. For example the Piano Tuners scene is done in a black out to show he is blind and his hearing senses are heightened as all conversations throughout the play are heard by him which is shown by all characters saying a few key lines whilst walking around the stage. The housekeeper scene shoes that she is stuck in a fairy tale world at the beginning and is trying everything to keep her world magical.

I feel that these dream scenes were important to add to the production as it helped the production to be more magical and like a fairy tale story. I also think it helped the actors to develop their own characters as reading these scenes helped everyone to understand the basis of their character and how they were important to the production.
