Discussion Questions
Scene 1
In two groups, act out scene one. Note that the opening scene takes place on a ship at sea during a terrible storm. (Why is it significant that the play begins with a storm at sea?) How can the fury of the waves and wind be shown on stage? Be sure to address the following:
a. How do you perform the first stage direction?
b. How can actors' movements suggest a ship caught in a storm?
c. How might you convey the sense of fear & crisis? These are people who are desperately concerned to save their lives. Do they panic or are they well disciplined?
d. What simple props do you need to convey the scene.
