Prologue

Here are a few pictures from the prologue.

In two of the pictures you can see people sitting on the sides watching what is happening in the center. This is because the people center stage are the story tellers and the people on the sides are listening in; you'd think when your sitting on the sides you won't really have to do much however you do. It makes a massive difference from looking like you've heard the story a thousand times so your mind has drifted somewhere else and looking engaged in the story. So we move a little so it's hardly noticeable but the difference is there, and our eyes should not been day dreaming or wondering where the shouldn't. I found this quite difficult at times during the rehearsals because it was a constant thing, but during the shows I focused a lot more.

In the bottom picture you can see 7 girls standing in a line, this is an image to show the audience how many girls were killed by King Shahrayar because he thought women we're all liars and cause pain towards men.

The picture with the pink fabric, is portraying a window and King Shahrayar over looking his (at the time) wife meeting and showing affection towards another man.
