christohper malowe

what did he write, about him! only known for 6 years as he died at 29. Talk about him being a spy, and the myths.

awarded a masters arts degree, he was a contryvershal man, which is shown through his plays for example in faustus, and he was a atheist,

has been to arrested for murder but only for 2 weeks, which backs up his links with the goverment.

What did we get form his plays, the warnings etc

The legend of Faustus, from the bible there was a story of a magiain which made audiences confused about marlowe as he didnt believe in all of that stuff. In the play there are references to the german origins, example the V&C and the settings.

Our interpretations, what is the popualr in modern day which is music, like religion was in the elizabethan era. Music was seen as sinful. brings it to a contemporary audience.

Performance space,first theatre was on south bank called the theatre, they were all in the round and open air, shakespeare references the wooden O which is the open air theatres which were made of wood

talk of what was going on! throwing stuff,no women on stage as actors, differs to today. how did it effect our productions.

minimalistic.

why did i like performing in original performance spaces.

Times where plays were,faustus is a dark play it worked within the lightig change.

Costume

ours was contrasting to the original productions, couliurful and raver props, some costume reflecting the opc for exapmle the masked to show certain characters, and quality of costume to show character

6

style of acting, it was melodramic which is simular to panto in modern day,this was to make sure that everything and everyone was seen. some of our scenes showed this, for example the sins, where we would over exaggerate everthing to make everything bigger.

Characters

Helen - may be a small part but showed faustus'weakness'and how he gave into everything and regrets selling the soul, also having a strong female characters to show dominance

Meph- making them female showed a huge jump in society where the most dominate roles were female.

Sins- we brought this up to date with costume and props,glottony had modern foods, sloth had onsie, modern ware and wrath had guns which showed modern issues around violence.

Old Man -  relecting faustus'life and how he may turn out.
