Blue Remembered Hills Stage Question 
Blue Remembered Hills Notes
Stage Question
Scene 6: Pg 11 to 14
Stage and set: End-on, set made to look as realistic as possible. Using an authentic looking tree.
Detail about set: On the fields, this is shown by west country field profection on the screen. Also, realistic grass and some bushes and branches scattered around the stage to show that we are in the middle of the fields. Tree trunk positioned in the middle at centre stage to show that it´s the main focus for the audience surrounded by the 4 youngsters. I would use a tree trunk instead of a real tree so that the audience immediately anticipates that the tree is very large and could in fact be reaching out of the top of the theatre. Enhances the fact that the tree is the main emphasis for the audience. During the snap blackout a squirrel would be placed upstage left and as the lights come back up, their would be a pause from the 4 youngsters as they then all of a sudden run towards the squirrel and start to frenziedly kick it while showing intense amusement. The reason why I would place the squirrel close to the audience upstage is to increase to horrible image of a dying squirrel as the youngsters carelessly murder it. Makes the audience feel uncomfortable and slightly disgusted.
Lighting and Sound: Blue tinge mixed with straw gel to show daylight. Start with red tinge spotlight on squirrel to show it is dead and to give a brief introduction to what the scene will contain.
