When rehearsing the play, we decided we wanted a set to work with. We incorporated different levels into the background, added in some stairs and explained as we went along what we would use each section for.
We had 3 sections of staging, stage right we had a tall build as we used this side to represent a house, stairs, and was used for many entrances such as Simon, and Miss Slighcarp and we other built in an archway for other entrances. Stage left we had the same size as stage right, but we used this side for the likes of the wolves and chorus, as we use pieces of cards where we project images onto card pieces for exaggerated effect. Then centre stage we had a row of staging which we used for the wolves, the train, a horse carriage and a secret passage in a couple of scenes.
We had the staging in many ways before we decided what was best, we had four lots at one point, but it made the stage looks a bit full and messy. We also decorated the set with drapes and sheet for some shadowing effect of the wolves. And we also added chests on stage for props and costume for some of us to get changed on stage. We also used the chests to sit on in some scenes also.
