just wafflle on about colour choices, lighting, props, how each character should react. perhaps the blinding scene?

 

[elven_princess]

yes Vanessa, it's Kathleen, from ur class

we watched the Peter Brook interpretation of King Lear, theatre of the absurd....it was quite bad......
but i also watched another version, a BBC version, directed by Jonathan Miller, which has proper stage setting, props and costumes and it was acted out very well..should i use both of it??

or use the Peter Brook's version and a Jan Kott article on King Lear -___-??? im lost...><

with brook, look at his use of nothingness.. "Goneril wears the boots and Regan wears the skirt" I think is a quote from him. He sees Cordelia as a doll.

I just did that assessment! Just tag on some deconstructionist philosophy and comment on the use of stagecraft, lighting, costuming, similarities between your version and KL and differences and how it is successful.
