Paige and Alex Our play is a Brechtian piece; we used gestus, placards, montage also our characters haven't got names to create the emotional distance from the characters, so the audience don't get emotionally attached to the characters. We have also considered the music in our production and we will be using the chorus just like Brecht did so the audience have time to think about the moral of the play; ''The alienation effect in German epic theater is achieved not only through the actors, but also through music (chorus and song) and sets (transparencies, film strips, etc.). Its main purpose is to place the staged events in their historical context.''
