The set I have decided to use is the 'Thrust' setting because it allows people to see the play from different points of view.
In terms of props, the motorbike will be centre stage to show the audience that the scene is based around the bike. There will also be a television, a desk, 7 boxes, a chair rack, a door, a window, two sets of shelves, and a broom.
I think in terms of lighting there will be quite a dimmed form of lighting because it is closet, and closets don't usually have a lot of light in it, but there is a window in there which could let quite a big source of light into the room, only during the day of course but this scene is set during the day. I think the lighting should also be based on what emotions are being shown in the scene, so when the argument about the bike is happening, then the lighting should be low, but apart from then, it should be quite bright. But then I think it will be very difficult to cover all parts of the stage to make sure certain props in particularly the motorbike are shown clearly on the stage to the audience. I also think the weather should judge how the lighting is on the stage. For example, if the weather in the stage directions says it is sunny outside during the scene, then the lighting should be quite bright.
The music in 1976 was an era where punk was just starting to become popular but it was acts such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and Rod Stewart that were popular in this era of music. Barry Keefe used one of the Rolling Stones songs to use in his Gotcha play. So I think the sound would be songs from acts that were popular at that time playing in the background. I think in terms of sound effects there only needs to be the sound of a knock on a door, and the opening of a door but other than this, no other sound effects are needed.
I think the clothing for the play will be as follows: the head will be wearing a suit, waistcoat, a shirt, a tie, and a pair of black shoes to show that he has authority over everyone else and also to make him look like a head teacher; the kid will be wearing a shirt, tie, black shoes and a blazer to make it look like a school uniform; Ton will be wearing a t-shirt, shorts, trainers and a whistle around his neck to make him look like a P.E teacher, and Lynn will be wearing a skirt (quite short) to make it look suspicious that something is going on between her and Ton, a shirt to go with the shirt, and flat shoes to make her look like a teacher and also to give her some authority, over the kids in particular.
