Discussion:
1. Clarity of language and story- Which performers do the best job of making Shakespeare's language clear to the modern audience. What techniques are they using in their body and voice to help make their character easy for the audience to understand.
2. Which actors were able to make you forget at times that you were listening to Shakespearean language and became relatable to the modern audience.
3. What are the themes of the play? How are they expressed through design (set, lights, sound, set, props, makeup, hair, and costume).
4. Do a little research of the fashion, hair, and makeup for both men and women and 1959. Describe how the costumes changes with different locations. Be specific and give examples.
