1.textual integrity is basically 'has all the loose ends been tied together' is the play resolved....

2. cut it down your own opinion, what would you like to focus on? then set it out as costumes, characters (taking some out etc) charcterisations of the actors (e.g a really tall lear would command power, whereas a small one will produce sympathy) lighting.... props etc

3.say your gonerill, you would tell them why you are good for the role, but back this up with your vision for the play. E.g you (as the actor) believes gonerill should (as in the bondi production) use her sexuality as power over oswald, therefore she should be pretty. And it should seem like she is the dominating one in her relationship w/ albany, so she would be taller. but base it on your interpretation for the character, but add the stuff i said, coz u are auditioning for the part (u have to keep the audience that you are supposedly talking to present in the essay it'll get u more marks)

hey i would definetly go 4 the second question, the other two u have 2 be way more creative and think a hell of a lot more. my advice is do a production that u understand the most. with me i did a feminist production because it was easiest! GOOD LUCK
