help for picking a play

[charcoalfeather]

i have to pick and create a scene in a play for one of my classes (stage craft) and i need some ideas for good scenes that are not too difficult but will most likely get me a good grade... please help me

 

[Scorch]

Any play? Or does it have to be a specific play written by a certain person?

 

[gashlycrumb]

Like how much do you have to do? Do you have to design the whole set, or just make a simple one there on the fly for the class?

 

[charcoalfeather]

any play... or musical... i just need some interesting scene to make a model of

 

[charcoalfeather]

it is a final exam grade so it has to look good but also on the cheap side because i am poor.. i dont know... something creative

Serpico.

I'd say something from Phantom of the Opera. The outfits aren't too extravagant, and you could find the Phantom's costume fairly easy and it'd be fun for all, mainly because PotA isn't really a boring play, it interests both men and women.

Can it be a movie or a tv show?

 

[charcoalfeather]

it has to be a play or musical... something with theater

Do a scene for Oedipus. Do that scene where he rips out his eyes. That would be great to do up on a stage.

Any sex scene should net you an A+.

i was actually thinking about that but i have to do the set not the people... and that set is pretty basic

Do Othello suffocating Desdemona. Now that'd be dirt cheap, unless you don't already own a pillow.

it is a little model.... think shoebox

How about Hamlet. You can do the soliloquy where Hamlet asks the skull "To be or not to be?"

 

[greendj27]

What about Julius Caesar getting murdered in Rome? You can do the whole "Et tu Brute" thing.

something from ONe Flew Over the cuckoos nest

Shakespere is always good,

scenes from a mid-summer night's dream often lend themselves to interpretation in setup and props.

[ananag112]

Hamlet is good. You should do that.

Well any puck scene works quite well, there the one where he messes with the couples or the one where he gets the fairy queen to sleep with a horse I think it is. Sorry its been years since I've read it.
