The scene that I want to turn into a staged play would be Night Women. I like this play a lot because of how it shows a theme of being strong and having the ability to overcome obstacles that are in your way. The main character, the mother is a Haitian women and because wasn't able to get a job as easy it would have been if she was a white man. Also there is only two characters in the play, the mother and the child. However maybe we could add another one and that would be the men that she sleeps with. And the whole play could be one night of the week and on the stage they could go through there routine. However maybe we could change it and the boy would be awake and see what happens. When doing this you would need to be very serious and mature about it because the mother is a pro statue and so you need to be very professional. I think that this is a good scene to make into a play because there are a lot of unanswered questions that the readers of this may have. Some examples of this would be does the son know the whole time, does the mother ever stop doing what she does at night. And so I would like to use that for inspiration in the play. So the play would be set up as the apartment and it would look very messy. And a way to make it seem that they are poor I would have the clothes the son wear look New because she is providing for him and I would have the mother just look run down and tired. I want her to look like this because she works all day then does what she does when the night time comes. Another play that I would be interested in to do would be 1937 this one I think could be very interesting to turn into a play and really bring out the mystery that surrounds witchcraft and instead of having it take place in prison maybe we could change it into something I don't know yet but something that would make it less confusing to people. And I think also that if this was turned into a staged play we can really bring of the theme of love and even though you may disagree with someone's choices you still love them, like the daughter with the mother because she was charged with kill a baby due to witchcraft. And maybe we could make the scene what actually happened when the baby died. And how she went to jail in the first place, I think that could be very cool. These are the two story's that I would like to turn into a staged play. Both of them I'm fine with recreating, it's just I think both of them and think that they would be very intersecting to set up and act out and preform, they would tie up the lose string that the author created when she was writing the story's.
