In current productions of Greek plays designers are face an abundance of options for breathing new life into the play. Often you’ll see the play set in a different time period and so swords will be guns, women will be attired differently to portray them as stronger or weaker, and the sound of a storm or battles in the distance help to reinforce the time and place. Thinking about how these decisions can impact a production, I would like you to respond to the following question:
What is the overall production going to be like in this situation?
What is your intention with this element?
How do you think the audience will react?
Will it be a focus of the production? Is so, how will that impact the rest of the production elements?
