Obviously there were some things that didn't make sense. For example the hayloft was a diner counter haha. But the maywine/word of your body scene played out really well and so did the Hanschen masturbation/Desdemona's photo was a 1950s dirty magazine. It was as if the director was trying to make it "the meeting place" for this small German community.
I totally get what everyone is saying why a 50s diner? seems like a crack pot idea. However, during the preshow when the actors were onstage either doing homework, passing notes to each other, sitting at the counter, and reading german novels you started to get the feel of the show. I think this would have been fine set in the 50s just not a diner. Sexual oppression was big in the 50s too right?
I just noticed that not everyone has seen in it in this thread and I wanted to give an actual review of how I felt about the show. Like I said everyone was amazing except for Wendla and Moritz.
