Topic > The Tempest - 1583

Task 1Plan your production of a scene from The Tempest in detail, explaining costume choices, stage directions and any other instructions you would like to give to the actors. You are the director here, and your goal is to imagine a creative and surprising production of a scene from the play, which expresses your understanding of the play and how it might be performed for a modern audience. Include details about how you want the actors to deliver specific lines. Your instructions should be sufficient for actual production. If you want, you can change the setting of the show (e.g. on the moon, on an island in the Black Sea, etc.); you can also cast real life actors for the roles and tell me why those specific actors would be appropriate for the characters.Tempest Theater GameBefore determining the clothes, actors and details, I need to know when this book was written by Shakespeare and when the history? This play was written in 1611. This story tells us about the events that take place on the island for 4 hours. Since the island is where events happen, I use a lot of wave, wind, and storm voices. The other important point is time, the whole game lasts 4 hours and Act 1, scene 2 lasts less than 4 hours, for this reason I have to choose decorations related to this time interval. After considering all these conditions, I should determine the players in my game. In this scene Prospero, Miranda, Ariel, Caliban and Ferdinand have some roles. First I want to choose Ariel. In Tempest act 4, scene 1, Prospero says to Ariel "That was well done, my little bird" (line 184) and adds in act 4 scene 1 "That is my delicate Ariel!" (line 95). After reading these words, when I try to imagine the air sp...... middle of paper ...... make you / The Queen of Naples.”(page 125-125 line 448-450) Prospero thinks this the process is moving quickly and you want to decrease the speed. And he doubts Ferdinand and Prospero is not kind to Ferdinand. In this scene, Prospero's voice should be steady and harsh. Therefore, the audience can understand her father's feelings because being a father of a girl is different from everything. In this process, Miranda also falls in love with Ferdinand and is so sad when her father is rude to Ferdinand. In this scene there is a pianist on the scene and he plays the piano softly. When Ferdinand draws his sword, the pianist hits the major musical notes and increases the tension. And Prospero works magic and Ferdinand petrifies. When Ferdinand resigns himself to losing this challenge, the piano plays fluid music and the three of them and Ariel slowly exit the scene. THE END
