We would perform the play in the round, but with the actors and the audience both sitting in the circle, making it immersive as well. The actors would get up and meet each other in the middle of the round and either perform the physical theater elements, narrate or both in the round. Different groups could come and do two different physical performances at the same time, therefore varying the layout of the performance, making it more engaging.
I would get some of the text to be said sitting in the audience and the narration would be said either individually or in different sized groups and some parts might even be repeated for impact.
The props I would use would be able to double up
for different uses. for example you could use a pole for weapons, jail bars, furniture etc.
The lighting would be focused into the middle of the round. For the more violent or emotional scenes I would have a dimmer light and in the more hopeful or happier scenes the light would be brighter and might spread onto the audience.
Because the majority of the play would be performed in the middle of the circle, it would be very important that the actors were aware of the space and made sure they were constantly moving round, therefor keeping the audience interested.
