  2. The Message • This play is used to show the reactions of various types of people under a totalitarian government system • Highlighted themes are Oppression (Ridiculous laws and punishments), desensitization and “brain-washing” (Vio and Rul), and the collapse of freedom (“Complicits” being executed)

She has been personally affected by the government and she sees how unjust and corrupt the system is. • Tor- Expresses her distaste with the government and outwardly disagrees with their views. • Rul- Fully supports the government and looks at it as a benevolent protector. • Vio- Fully supports the government and believes that all complicits deserve their fate. Vio is fond of violence and chaos. Vio is too stupid to understand what’s going on. • Fea- Follows the government’s system out of fear of retribution. • Offence Officers Ash & Flint- Mindlessly follow the government’s orders, regardless of feelings.

  4. Colour Choices • Grey and Black to represent the dreary environment that the corrupt government has created • It also gives a sense of hopelessness to the situation which accentuates what many of the characters are feeling

  5. Symbols Eye which implies that the government is always watching you.
