Staging
I have decided to have my staging in proscenium arch because this allows the audience to see the performance from the same point of view. Another reason why I have decided to stage my version of the play like this is because the audience wouldn't be able to see everything on the stage, as if it was staged any other way you would really struggle to see everything on the stage in terms of props and actors. My boxing ring will be staged on wheels. I got this idea from when we went to see Henry the V at the Unicorn Theatre in London, because the setting of France was shown on a wheeled sandbox.
Props
I have decided to have four speakers mounted on tripods in each corner of the boxing ring because this will make the Underworld song loud enough so that all of the audience can hear it. I have also decided to use speakers because they are also equipment that are within a boxing arena which are used for things like music, and also the sound coming from the microphone of a ring announcer. Another prop I will use is a projector, which will be mounted on wheels. I have decided to use a projector for the change in settings within the play, e.g. changing from Cameron's house to the gym. The projector will project backgrounds of each of the settings within in the play.
Lighting
The lighting in my version of the play will be low key lighting for the more emotional scenes; and then it will be high key lighting for the scene of the boxing match between Ajay and Cameron, and also the scenes which aren't so emotional.
Sound
The sound in my version of the performance will be the Underworld song 'Beautiful Burnout' playing in the background throughout the performance.
