Past Productions

In this posting I would like to share some links to other productions of The Rope. I think that this will help show how others have chosen to interpret the play. I feel that by doing this we will all be able to get a look at this show through other's eyes.

The first link takes you to Limestone College's production of The Rope. They have chosen to modernize the play with costumes and set. They have also chosen to move the plays action to the United States. The sets look beautifully done and the costumes fit for the chosen time and place. Their idea is an interesting and entertaining one.

This second link takes you to The Getty Villa Malibu theatre site. They have chosen to do an adaptation of The Rope; they've named it Tug of War. It seems to have the same idea beind it. The biggest difference is that they warn you on their page that the actors will break character and comment on what is going on in the play. The pictures on the site show some wonderful sets and costumes.
