How actors use the acting space/stage • We need to look at set in 3PO • In groups, you will be allocated one set to design/draw/annotate • Label where actors will stand when the action changes within the scene (ie. when a song starts) • Label where the organ will sit on stage • You will tell the class about your design
The sets • Peachum’s shop • The stable • The whorehouse in Turnbridge • The death cell and the gallows
