When me, Jack and Max where first looking at our scene when the dinner scene in Robert's house, we had envisioned that we would be all sitting around a table where we could be able to eat food whilst saying our line and have the ability to exchange awkward glances to each other. We though perhaps we would be on the centre catwalk right at the front so that it was intermit with the audience and each other. However this setting didn't really work as it was very naturalistic and so it didn't fit in with the brechtian style of the play. So instead we have been redirected to each of us on a single catwalk facing the front with max on a stool with me and jack standing on a diagonal to each other. I feel that this is a more effective staging as it allows the brechtian style to be portrayed but it also means that all of Max's important monologues are directed at the audience and therefore makes them more influential to the audience.
Also, in the scene act 4 page 133, they originally stood in the order Steve, jasmine, Colin and Sarah. However I felt that they were standing in a really staged order so I suggested that jasmine and Colin should switch places to show a separation between Colin and Sarah and to show how Jasmine has gotten in the way of their relationship. I felt that this worked better as it show the spirit in the relationship but it also show how they are all talking over each other coming up to the point when they realise Freya is on the bridge.
