The play comes across as very comical and has little seriousness throughout each scene. If this play had some sort of serious or legit reason to be a tragedy of some sort, then I would stage it with dark curtains in the background and have the meetings between the women have a grim like feeling to it. This play isn’t anything like that though. Even the scene where the Old men are struggling while carrying wood, for the fire that they are making, is very calm like and there seems to be no commotion. Also the scene where the women who are not going to have sex with there husbands are to be arrested is very comical and there is very little physical contact. Therefore this play should have a calm comical feeling to it. The audience should feel as if nothing bad is going to happen. The stage should be well lit and there should be no dark spots. The audience should be able to see everything and nothing should be hidden from them.
