Our Brecht inspired piece

 We used many different styles and aspects of Brecht to create our piece from the complete unnaturalistic approach to the light hearted comedy spin we added.
We used Placards to name items and people because simplicity was one of Brechts favourite rules to have, he believed that simplicity sometimes added more to a production rather than over the top ornate sets and props.

 We wrote down a list of props and who would need/source/create them.

The dance at the beginning of the piece added to the light hearted comedy style of the piece creating from the 'get go' a light sense of amusement allowing the meaning of the piece to be transferred to the audience without having to be such a heavy emotional piece.

Another thing I think that went well was the way Tom had four characters and a placard with them on so when he changed he could point at the character he was playing to inform the audience. This was effective because it combined two of Brechts techniques, Multi-rolling and the use of placards and labels.
