15.  The environment sets the stage for a production
 This wild comedy that takes after the suppliant takes
place in modern day Italy.
 The play starts with the arrival of 8/50 Greek sisters by
yacht to Piero’s villa.
 The majority of the play takes place in Piero’s villa.

19.  Since the play is mostly inside of a villa, it is mainly set
in an enclosed area to show the unrest and uneasiness
inside a home, which is suppose to be a place of peace.

22.  The play takes place inside a huge villa in modern day
Italy.
A realistic setting is used to allow the audience to see a
setting that is very much in like with its counterpart in
real life.
 The background should also change in response to the
change of scenery to the wedding scene.

25.  Together with the director, costume designs, and
lighting of the play, the set can tie in with these three
to help make a more effective, and enjoyable play.

27.  The play is set in a palatial house. In a room a spacious
room with terrace facing wonderful views, the lighting is
set by natural daylight, that sets the atmosphere to
begin the play.
 However the beauty of the nature is overshadowed by
the atmosphere changing dialogue used by each
character.

28.  Thyona and Constantine:
 Both in their dialogue
show hatred, anger and
passion. This changes
the mood to all the
characters. When they
speak the lighting
changes to more
passionate colors of
deep reds and dark
oranges.

29.  The play opens with a Spotlight on Lydia as she walks
on stage and enters the tub. The duration of this scene
takes place inside the bathroom. The lights will be
bright and airy in an attempt to cast a tranquil setting

30.  This is scene is right outside of the Villa in the garden
and inside the guest quarters. The Lights for this will
fluctuate between bright to dim to emphasize the
change in locations.

31.  This scene will many changes.
 For the wedding an elegant grace of whites and yellows will prepare the setting.
 At the reception, the lighting will brilliant colors, showing the playfulness party
atmosphere
 Then it drastically change to deep colors of terror when the women begin to
fulfill their pacts.
The receptions

32.  At the end of the play the lighting around the cast will
dim and a spotlight will surface as Lydia and Nikkos
exit the stage.

34. This play takes place during modern times.
The costumes that I will be choosing for the actors
will be very modern and fashionable and the
costumes will also represent the setting that this
play is in.

35.  In order to ensure that the actors are able to give the best
performance, the costumes will be tailored to their stature.
 They will be made so that each actor is able to move freely
inside the costume. This is so that the actor will be able to
use any form of movement that he/she wishes in order to
portray their character.
 Before finalizing the costumes I will make sure to verbally
communicate with the actors in order to make sure that
approve the costumes themselves.

37.  Olympia will be wearing a very
flashy dress throughout the
whole play.
 The reason that I picked this
dress for her is because she is
the type of person who wants a
man to take care of her and in
the play she resembles the
woman who is flamboyant.

38.  Thyona will be wearing a wedding dress
that is really minimalistic, plain and
dark colored.
 The reason that I picked this dress for
Thyona is because Thyona really fits the
stereotype of a very angry feminist, she
is the one who first comes up with the
idea to kill all of the grooms.
 Her dress is also dark colored because of
the evil nature of her actions.

40.  The rest of the 47 Brides and
Grooms will be wearing
generic dresses and suits.
 This is so that they are
distinguishable from the main
characters.

41.  Color is extremely important when deciding the types of
costumes that the character will be wearing.
 Each color strikes a different mood with the audience and it is
essential that the mood that the color represents be accurate
with the characters actions.
 In this play for example each of the main characters are wearing
something that is quite unique from the other characters, this is
to ensure that they are distinguishable and that the color
represents their actions.
 Thyona for example is wearing a dark dress because her actions
are quite questionable and darkness is associated with negative
thoughts.
