World of Play RoughDraft

Statements: In Russia, Writers were not treated well therefore; they had to be careful because they could end up exiled or dead. Some people did have a concern for the mentally ill in Russia. People had mixed fills about the Jews in Russia. Police still hold ridicules amounts of power and can get away with what they want to. Executions where done widely around and all done in secret therefore no one would really know the way Katurian and Micheal died. Could also help the light designer do lights for that final moment. KGB was used for watching and eliminating hostile threats to its government. This could also include writers who put their political belief in their writings. Hence why Katurian thought he was being taken in for questioning. They also had the power to do whatever they wanted to. You can see this in the scenes where they beat and abuse him. Even though the war was over Stalin still was able to install fear and paranogia to his people. Causing them to observe people who might be talking against the government. This would also be a reason why Katurian might have thought he was being taken in for questioning. This is important to me because it shows how the two officers could do whatever they wanted to Katurian and his brother and not suffer any repercussions. The Reign of Stalin help set up the KGB the use of propaganda and installed fear in all his country which allowed the whole country to become submissive to all his doings. This could also been seen why Katurain is very meek through the being of the play. This would help designers get a kind of feel for the show to make it a very gloom and big brother type set. I found this to be insightful on the way Russians carry themselves. I believe an actor can use this for extra research in creating their characters.
