According to both Constantin Stanislavski's methodo-logy for actor training and Bertolt Brecht's dramaturgical philosophies, scenic design for the theatre takes on a role that goes far beyond the basic function if indicating time and place. Even though Odets' play takes place during a specific time in history, the play itself is less a realistic representation of that time, than a representation of how Odets viewed it. Therefore, the nature in which the environment of the play was crafted carried the potential of affecting the play's inter-pretation, first by the director and actors, then by the designer and the rest of the creative team, and then consequently, by the audience itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VDM Verlag Dr. Mueller E.K.","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47611350483095,"sku":"9783639026948","price":4510.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783639026948.webp?v=1775070629","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/pictures-of-history-the-scenographic-construction-of-clifford-odets-1938-play-rocket-to-the-moon-9783639026948","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
