First Impression

    The first thought that comes to mind upon reading the script is ‘potential’. There are so many ways to interpret the play. The mother seems to be bitter to the father and towards the thought of her proposed daughter-in-law, while the father seems softer spoken. She is very proud of her son and seems disapproving of their marriage.
It sets the mood of this sort of turmoil and impeding danger at times, as well as having romanticism and a very touching, hopeful feel. The mood provides the setting to show someone trying to separate the couple, and someone trying to be their guardian angel.
The colors that came to my mind were red and white, like a devil and an angel. The devil is much more vigorous and the angel is a lot more soft-spoken, therefore, spoken over. The idea that I get for the play is to have a young couple, truly in love, facing different obstacles in their relationship (of the devil’s doing) while there is an angel who is trying to help them protect and preserve their relationship. The first thought that comes to mind upon reading the script is ‘potential’.

     The colors that came to my mind were red and white, representing a devil and an angel and black and white, to represent yin yang. The devil is much more vigorous and the angel is a lot more soft-spoken, therefore, spoken over. The idea that I get for the play is to have a young couple, truly in love, facing different obstacles in their relationship that are thrown in their way by the mother, who will also play a double role of a devil in some scenes and the father, who will also play a double role of an angel, trying to silently help them through it all. The play is set in present time.
