THEA 142: Development of Dramatic Art I

As I read Prometheus Bound I imagined the majority of the stage as being an enormous rock or a mountain that Prometheus is chained down to. I pictured the stage as being a dark evil place with fog and a wet cold feel to it. I also pictured the background being very dark colors like black, purple, and gray colors. The background would be made from some kind of fabric so it could move to give the audience the fell of wind or stormy weather. During intense scenes I imagine that there would be a sharp, loud screeching sounds to make everything seem more dramatic. When Zeus appears thunderbolts would be illuminated for the audience to easily identify that it was Zeus. There would also be a brighter light on Zeus to show that he is superior to the other characters.
This is how I imagined Prometheus Bound as I read the play.
