The Intentions of the director was to shown how silly war was but put it into a funny and entailment way. There were to styles of acting were grotesque and naturalistic. The character Grusha gave the impression that she had lost everything her voice was weak but moving, her costume was rags which gave emotion of how much she has lost. The Nobel women used her voice to overpower other chat actors by her pitch of tone, she spoke to the poor as if they were rats or animals, and she tried bribing the judge for her love of the children but not true she wanted it as it was the only person who was next for the crown.
The judge azdak came from being rags to a rich person who judge unfairly. His props showed a lawless state which by his own actions made. Himself was a bad action drinking, taking bribes, ET? These three actors gave an intent impression of watching the play, the use of pitch, pace, tone, pauses and accents gave the play a fantastic display. The costumes were all white which made the important parts side out. This gave the directors idea out to the audience.
Brecht’s emotions of imaginative, vitality was shown here, and, the corrupt, drunk, 
judge Azdak but even all this the end is the best as it goes like this Azdak, who sees more than the bribes he's always willing to accept, devises a method— the two mothers will engage in a tug of war with the baby, the winner getting the right to keep poor darling. The outcome, however, Grusha’s emotion can’t hurt the poor darling and lets go but the noble judge gives the baby to Grusha as she did not harm the baby.
The use of middle stage was use full as all the audience sees different views of the play. This was an important as the actors had to change direction as the audience is all around the stage.
I enjoyed the production from the two different seats the three main characters and the rest were white this helped to enjoyed entailment of the

    Harrison’s stage directions gives the performers room to powerfully use the props and sets to symbolize the true feelings of each character. I experienced this from watching a production of “Stolen” by the Sydney Theatre Company. The five actors were always repositioning their beds in the institution across the stage to highlight how stability and security were unavailable to them in the ‘homes’, this also showed the emotional impact on each character of always feeling like they are hiding or on the run from authority figures. As an audience member I really felt each characters pain through the directors use of the elements of drama within the performance, it added a perception of realism and deepness to each characters aura.…

    The viewers were able to see discrimination. The flim showed how white people was being ruthless to the African American community. Police was being lenient about the activity that was taking place in the community and wasn’t caring for nobody.

    Truth, honestly and candour is the central idea of the play. The idea of truth, telling the truth and recognising the truth is located in the interrelationship between the two women during the war. An example of this is when Sheila reveals her secret of ‘giving herself up to a Jap’ to save Bridie which has been kept hidden since the war. In the scene, Misto uses a combination of techniques such as lighting, music and sound to convey emotions from the audience as Sheila tells her story. The scene concludes with both characters isolating in separate spotlights and the music plays to the audience as the scene ends with tension and suspense. This then shapes the perception and meaning of concerns and experiences to make the audience think of the interrelationship between the two women and the heroic deeds of women during the war.…

    In the SHS, the composer creates a distinctively visual image of the suffering of the POW’S. Through the projection of photographic slides, images of extremely starved and emaciated women are depicted. In conjunction, the slides of the children who are shown to be, “stick thin, obviously starving, dressed in rags, filthy,” reveal the extreme suffering of the POW’S. Additionally, an image of the suffering of the POW’S is created through the use of soundtrack. The soundtrack of the machine gun fire, and the cries of women are heard and this creates the image of the insignificance and vulnerability of the women compared to the Japanese Army, this forces the audience to visualise the atrocities of war provides the audience with a haunting impression. Furthermore, the voice over of Bridie repeatedly apologizing to the Japanese soldier and through the communication of “the ugly thumps of the young Bridie punched and hit,”…

Eleven of the jurors vote “guilty.” Only one juror votes “not guilty.” That juror, who is known in the script as Juror #8 is the protagonist of the play. As the tempers flare and the arguments begin, the audience learns about each member of the jury. And slowly but surely, Juror #8 guides the others toward a verdict of “Not Guilty.”…

    The type of theatre that was used was a picture fame stage. The stage was fairly small but perfect for the production that was being put on. It was a simple theatre with a older look to it. The stage sat directly in front of the audience seating. The play space was also a little small but worked out great for the performance. The production was perfect the way it was setup.…

    The actor’s voices weaving in and out of the monitors. The volume changing ever now and then, giving a surprise and scare to the loud voice and letting the audience feel clueless at the low voices, that they are not able to pick up. For audiences sitting near the back, at points in the play, it was hard to hear what the actors were saying. When many group of actors were saying different things it was impossible to be able to make out what any of the groups said. And underneath the of the actors’ voice, in the background there was a buzz flying around the auditorium. Letting audience wonder who is doing the sound system and if a child is messing with it. The sound system was a crucial thing that connects the audience to the actors. But it could only be said to have done a semi-good…

    Brecht’s techniques are a by-product of his environment. His theatre is best described as a dramatic vessel of rational didacticism, influenced by his Marxist beliefs. One Brechtian technique used is gestus. Gestus is used in the play to define the emotion within the character and the context they are in, such as Dulcie Doily and her fanatic religious views and her nonexistent talking parrot. The breaking of the fourth wall is also used but not in direct contact with audience, but an awareness of being watched such as when Sonny Jim recites he’s poem. Aspects of the play could be considered didactic, making the audience aware of the dangers of children disappearing and the mass hysteria that comes with these disappearances.…

    For me, one of the most enjoyable aspects of this play was the set. John Lang’s choice of a minimalist stage allows the audience to focus on the themes in the play, allowing the audience to focus on the characters without the distraction of a large set. Without this distraction, the audience was able to see the amazing character development within the play. Othello, once an honorable man, eventually went so far as to kill his loving and devoted wife, all because of rumors and lies. The simple stage allowed us as an audience to notice details, mainly because there weren’t that many details on the…
