I have a love hate relationship with Brecht. However, I did enjoy how everything in this production came together. The footlights gave a great effect, especially when used for the chorus and storyteller. The depth of the shadows on the actors' faces was eerie.
But, in my opinion, the best production element was the bamboo. Especially when the templates were shone onto the surface. Lighting the panels from all angles was also very effective.
I didn't really see a problem with using the diamond pattern both indoors and out. The outdoor sequence was for such a short period of time that it didn't really seem confusing.
I had seen early photos of the shows rehearsal and my attention was immediately drawn to the costumes. I thought the fabric looked too washed out, and a little on the pastel side. However, a photo does not capture stage light properly. So, once I actually saw the show I started to agree with the choices a little more.
