Death of a Salesman
Scene Study Project:
Choose one minute from the scene to present to class.
In rehearsal, consider the conditioning forces of the scene:
- Precisely where is your scene taking place?
-
At what time of day is it happening?
Also determine together what the characters’ objectives are: - What does each person want?
- What must each person do to get what he or she wants?
- What obstacles prevent them from achieving their objectives?
