8 OVERALL DIRECTORIAL INTERPRETATION AND DRAMATIC COMMENTARY • Will you retain the play’s non-naturalistic setting? What type of staging will you use? Why? • How will it demonstrate your own directorial concepts? What are they? • How will you get the actors to portray the Commentators? What do you want the audience to think and feel when the Commentators speak? Could you use theatrical effects to contribute to these feelings? If so, what effects would you use? • How do you want the audience to feel towards Mag? How will this affect the acting of the character? Is she a complex character? Do you want the audience to have any sympathy for her? How will you get the actress to deliver the long monologues. How will you try to ensure that the audience’s attention does not wander? • How do you want the audience to feel towards Joe? How will this affect the acting of the character? Is he a complex character? Do you want the audience to have any sympathy for him? • What kind of relationship between Mag and Joe would you want the actors to create? • How will you show the contrast between Mag and Joe? • How will you convey the imposed divisions between Mag and Joe and between Mag/Joe and the Commentators? • As a director how will you build and realise the dramatic tension in this Episode? • How will you show the contrast in the delivery of the Commentators with the naturalistic interaction of Mag and Joe? • How will you get Mag and Joe to do their mimicry? How will this get across the feelings of resentment and unhappiness that they have towards some of the people in their community? • How will you get across the importance of the Catholic religion in the play? • How will you bring out the humour of the play?
