Rehearsal Notes 05/03/2014

Today during our lesson we were asked to organise our thoughts and come up with a few ideas which we could use in relation to the play "much ado about nothing". As well as noting everything down we also recorded our finding on a recorder for extra documentation. There were many exciting idea throughout the lesson:

• Introducing context such as the second world war.
• 1930's-40's music
• exaggerating the present idea of female persecution (eg. witch hunts)
• feminism
• A real story about a relationship in Auschwitz which involved a similar connotations to the like of Benedick and Beatrice while also giving the story depth, context and a dark twist...
• The idea of changing the gender of many roles
• The possibility of focusing on one particular plotline or character.
• Concentration of individual skills and what each of us could bring to the production.
