Costume #2/ Prop Question

As a designer, outline your ideas for costume, props and accessories for this extract. Explain and justify how these would help to create your preferred effects at this point in the play.

[Use pages 105-107]

THIS IS YOUR INCLASS QUESTION;

BE CAREFUL: Just because it says props and accessories doesn’t mean you need to be tempted to make this into a naturalistic style production. Think about how Berkoff does it.

You can say that Berkoff (and therefore YOU) won’t use any. Then go onto say HOW he/you WOULD do it.

OR

You can modify what Berkoff does – whilst acknowledging he does it THIS WAY you can say how YOU WOULD DO IT. Could costume and props be used symbolically? Think colour of costume.

WARNING: Don’t just be different for differences sake! Your ideas MUST WORK for the whole play and be JUSTIFIED.
