Dramatic pause!!
When something dramatic happens in real life or in plays & films, there is often a sudden silence. It usually comes just before or just after the event.
Imagine the silence if you told your strictest teacher,
‘I haven’t done my homework.’
Think of Westerns when a stranger arrives at a saloon. The piano stops, the bar tender stops washing glasses and there is a deadly silence. Will there be a shoot out?
Playwrights use a DRAMATIC PAUSE -a sudden silence to focus the audience’s attention & highlight a particularly important moment. It makes the play/ film more interesting.

If it’s easier to put on a play when the audience sits on 1 side, WHY WHY might a director choose a different stage design?
the theatre is built that way
director wants a challenge The play might suit a different style
It makes it more interesting for the audience
It makes you feel closer to the action [ more involved]

Can you think of any problems?
Audience can’t see all
the action or maybe hear all the speech
Actors have to focus not just on acting but on trying to let the audience see the action & not be put off by their
closeness
Set designers have to work out how to change scenes without a curtain shutting or having long
blackouts
