I decided on this particular design to work with as it gave me exactly what I wanted and it is how I want my audience to view the stage. Gregors room is placed above the living area, to help me portray the idea that he may be different to them, but he is still above them both literally and mentally. I wanted the stairs/ladders/lift to be an important place on stag
e as it is pivotal to the scene I have chosen, so it is imperative that the audience are able to see properly, which is why I have decided to make it about 35% of the stage width.
The doorway has been located at the back of the stage on the right, but not right at the edge. I wanted it to be a focal point as the lodgers will be leaving the stage with disgust and horror during this scene and I like the idea that their backs will be turned as they leave the stage. It will hopefully help to show their disgust towards Gregor and discarding the family for hiding such a hideous secret from them.
