The Pillowman

This week we decided to start with the opening of the play. Considering it is such a dark play we thought we would have a very contrasting song played at the beginning, at this point Katurian is sat at a table in the middle of the room with a bag over his head. This will create interest at the beginning of the play and get the audience thinking. We thought basic set would be best as it is supposed to be in a police interrogation room, so we will just have a table and three chairs which most of the play will be centered around.

The song we chose is the theme song from 'A Summer Place'. It is a light, airy, happy song which completely contrasts with the style of the piece and the opening scene although it does help to lighten it up a bit.
