I thought the performance was really well done. The set was beautiful and they really did a great job of telling the story within the story within the story. I also feel that a lot of that is due in part to the set, lighting, music, and choreography. I found myself lost in what was happening and that can be hard for me to do with theatre productions. Our class discussion got me thinking about all of the theatre productions I was in during high school and how every production was so different. I was in Seussical in community theatre and then our high school decided to put it on my senior year. A lot of us wanted to do choreography we had previously learned but we weren’t allowed to. I had never thought about protecting the choreography and sets. Every part of theatre is so unique and I had never really considered who has the rights to certain elements of the production.
I also believe a good job was done on this play. It could have been extremely confusing but the story was told well so it wasn’t as confusing as it could have been. I was also immensely impressed with the set and work done on the lights during the play.
I agree that the set was beautiful. Also, I do think our theater cast did an amazing job with this story. It could have been very confusing, yet I did not find myself confused once during the entire play.
That’s extremely interesting. I wonder if duplicating sets would be an infringement of copyright as well? That would mean that every individual director would have to come up with their own idea for how to portray the set, making the production of the play much more difficult.
