My vision for the play my love my love would be to modernize it since I think that as it is right now to transfer it to a stage would be way to confusing for the audience. I  would turn the play into a school and separate the two classes the poor side of the island and the rich part of the Island as different grades. Since in high school a senior has more power then a freshman because they are the oldest people at that school. And the Sundance can connect to that easier then having an elabeight idea I think. It would be set up like a school day would be like normally, and the Gods would be the teachers of the school because they have power over the people of the Island, just like how it is again making it easier for people to connect to it since it's a very complex play. However, doing this takes away the magical/ fantasy relation there is like in the novel. Again there will also be multiple encounters with the students and the teacher, but the main thing would be having a upperclassmen like a senior like a freshman which is weird since there is quite a big age difference however we are going to think it's normal for it. This will connect back to the novel, and make it better to comprehend. As for the devil of this school would be the principal because at the end of the day the teachers and expresses their option but it's the principles final say, kinda like how Papa Gé was in the novel. For the characters in this play I will have the main ones from the novel because I feel that they played an important role in the telling of the story and I feel it would be necessary to still have them in the play to further more tell the story. As for the lighting for the play I want to do something interesting because I feel like lights can be very helpful in switching scenes and showing different emotions. I was thinking it would be cool to have a black spot light on whenever Papa Gé to really symbolize and draw out the fact that he's like one with the shadows like in the novel. Another thing I will want to include in my play would be sound, because it is a great way to enhance the play. One thing I would be interested in doing would be when ever the Gods talk have a certain sound associated with them to almost give the audience a clue that there has to be more going on with these teachers. But, I haven't figured out what that should be because I want to make it low key. And maybe do the same thing with the students to show these ones are different then that one other than just going off of grade. This is what I would do if having to stage the play My love My love.
