Interpretation

I would keep the play as it is as I don't think it needs modernising because the ideas and themes, such as relationships and education, can still be applied today. 

I would make Lynne the victim and have Ton as the one who started the affair. I would have Ton as the main antagonist and portray him as a stereotypical 'bloke' so he would be quite aggressive and tough. I would have the Kid as quite sarcastic and appear strong and devious but later on in the play it would be revealed that he is also a victim and very vulnerable. 

I want my staging to reflect a claustrophobic atmosphere. I would have everything reflect the dark, dingy side of the play, which I think is like a metaphor for a dark society. I would represent this by having dull colours in my backdrop and set design, for example greys and browns and creams. I would like the cupboard to appear dusty and unused.
