Watch Shrek production on Netflix, write 3 pages

There are 4 different groups of characters. Nobles, Lovers, Fairies, and Mechanicals.  Who are they within the context of your concept of the play?  How will they use your scenic elements differently from one-another?

Remember that there are MULTIPLE forest locations.  How will you create these different locations?  Is there a scenic shift?  Are there enough entrances and exits to accommodate blocking flow from scene to scene?

Speaking of entrances – pay special attention to the scene in which Puck is throwing his voice, pretending to be Lysander and Demetrius.  This scene is typically done in the style of a Scoobydoo hallway chase sequence. Does your set allow for multiple quick crosses from entrance to exit?

There are several fight scenes.  Keep this in mind.  Give your director some choreographic options.

Multiple characters fall asleep in the forest.  Where can this happen where the audience can still see them.  (This will be a bit of a challenge in the Pearson)

How does your set change for the wedding at the end?  (Remember that they are setting up FOR the wedding in the first scene.)

Puck makes the lovers fall in love by rubbing a flower on their eyelids as they sleep.  What is this flower within the context of your concept?  How does Puck get them to sleep in the first place?

The mechanicals rehearse their play in the forest and then perform it at the wedding at the end.  How can they utilize your set differently for rehearsal vs performance?

Titanias nest.  What is this?

The moon is referenced often within this play.  Is there a moon, or a representation of a moon in your set?

Finally, read the epilogue of the play (Puck’s last speech)  This could be a good moment for a final scenic shift.  Just an idea for ya
