Dec 7, 2014 by coreyants
Like it's an 8-10 page essay and half of it is research and i've written 4 pages about this play, but now I have to write ANOTHER 4 on STAGING the play. I don't know how to fucking stage a play much less write 4 pages on crap -.-

Just fill in a bunch of space with cues/directions. Use a bunch of adjectives.

If it's a play you've seen performed, it should be easy.
You simply need to imagine the scenario.
What's in the background/foreground?
Who is on the scene?
Where are they at each moment?
What sounds are being played?
   
Surely if you visualise it, that's staging it, no? Coreyants

Oh wow, Coreyants! Haven't read that and haven't read a script for a long time. XD
I suppose the scene should be dark and dreary, spotlight on the electrocution chair/chamber/whatever?
Is it a public execution? Is a loved one watching and if so, do they have any dialogue?
You need to describe the scene, the costumes, the sounds (whether it's complete silence, or if you can hear machinery up until the machine is on), who is on the scene, where each bit of dialogue is spoken.
There is a lot you could write. 4 pages seems too little tbh. :P
