School of Thought

In Early Modern England the tides were a changin! Royal families are starting to slowly loose their strangle-hold. The church is not as fundemental as it once was and there is funding for state academies! The very title of the play lends itself to the importance of these schools. In rehearsal and preparation for this show we need to keep this historical fact in mind as a central theme. Nadine Pederson (the director) has choosen to set the play as if the audience were students and the actors teachers as you know, this is because our modern day audience will be sitting quietly opposed to how the audience would have behaved when the play was written.
