realise performance, but also to test how to shoot the multiple screens and how to give the actors an idea of what they were trying to do. \u00a0In order to do this, we made up the fictional space by having chairs representing the screens at ground level (the nymphs front left, middle and right) and Tyresias (rear) and the ladder representing the Gods (top screen), as here:<\/p>\n<p><img

going to work in principle (including camera, sound and editing). \u00a0We also calculated \u00a0eyelines from Gods to Nymphs and to Tiresias. \u00a0Issues of timing were more difficult to work out.
