During class today Mr. Sarstedt introduced the play we would be producing. He chose Tennese William's "The Long Goodbye". It is a one act play that deals with Joe and the memories of his mother's death and his sister's fall from grace. It is a "dream play" set in a mid-western American city.
We all took notes on what the First Reading and discussed it a little. The class knew who was doing what so we decided to complete our First Reading. We all joined in playing different roles at different times. It was fun to experience people's varied reactions to the play.
I took some notes on my immediate thoughts and facts on the play. I plan to be either sound or lighting designer or both. The setting was in a busy city therefore sounds of trucks, cars and pedestrians should be present. I also noticed the sounds of radios being played in the background and the slamming of windows. The mood chages from mellow to mysterious to gloom, tense and awkward. This presents some good chances of lighting to show these mood changes. Lighting such as purple and red or other dark colors could be a good choice.
This class was a good introduction to the play and I look forward to begin working with it.
