The approach to devising.


• The production is based on the idea of presenting a jazz-riff on the ideas and concerns of the original play.

• Like a jazz improvisation, the performance is different every time.

• The show is semi-improvised. Only lines from the original play text are used, but the actors can say them in any order and repeat them or break them up according to the action.

• As the show is improvised, the actors must respond to what they give each other in the moment. This is how the sense of ‘liveness’ is created on stage.
