I reread Blue Heart to decide which play I’d rather base my work off and decided on Heart’s Desire. I then read Heart’s Desire once more, this time going over it closely. I noted how there isn’t anything about the lighting, no set lighting design or anything to really work with from that perspective, so I instead decided to mark where the new ‘scenes’ started and ended as we did in a class near the beginning of term and mark where the atmosphere changed because those are the most likely places where lighting would be incorporated/changed. I made notes of how Heart’s Desire is written and what the main features are so I can write my play in line of what she did. I knew I needed a small amount of characters, it had to be set in only one room and that it had to have resets. I played around with ideas of family or friends living together before settling on the idea of parents and two children. This was more of a planning stage as I had no major ideas as to what I’d definitely write my play about and therefore there was limited directions in which I could approach my lighting design.
