I watched this one too. It wasn't a bad production although a lot of my fellow english students would have said this wasn't as good as the others we saw - Genesian Theatre and Wesley Inst.
Ok, well, in terms of readings, don't you think you could take it from a familial reading? I mean, you can link that to the Circle of fate (is that what it's really called?) and the fact that in the beginning they all had a photo inside it together but later on... it was broken apart.
Also the beginning scene - unlike a stereotypical tragedy, the mood was very light hearted. I mean, compared to the Genesian and the Wesley, this was done very differently.
Did anyone stay inside whist they were setting the scene after the intermission?? I did ^_^ it was very interesting... I remember they hung the two parts of the circle thingy up on the wall.
I'd say the set design was very minimalist - it was simplistic and it could take many forms. I don't know if you can elaborate on that.
Gonerill and Regan - in terms of costuming. Note their shoes. On very high heals. Where as Cordelia was in flat shoes.
There's another thread around about the bondi production ... someone said that the colours of the notes coded their emotions or something.
