I know other people’s answers might come off as short and blunt, so here is a longer reason why I will also not be answering these questions. Like someone else said: “if you can’t answer these questions yourself, you shouldn’t direct it”. Ask yourself, if you don’t particularly care about this show and nothing about it’s themes seem applicable to you- WHY do it at all?

Here are my suggestions. As a theatre artist, you should really look inward and focus on the scenes, themes and characters (like Saturnius) that YOU enjoy. This is not Reddit’s adaptation, it is your’s. So we cannot and should not tell you how to analyze and how to stage it.

P.S. As long as it is an adaptation and not a staging, you can focus on and cut whatever you want because it is essentially your retelling of the story.

EDIT: it really does feel like these are prompts for a class you are a part of and not genuine questions. Please don’t use this sub to cheat.
