In my adaptation of An Italian Straw Hat, the time period it would be set in is the present time. So, if someone were to perform this adaptation in 2075, they would dress the characters in the fashion styles of the 2010s. The location of this play is Johnson County, Kansas. There would need to be a couple of different set changes. The first set would be Ashley’s House. The next set should resemble a liquor store. Then there would need to be a set to resemble a fancy drug lord. And the final set needed would be a higher end house, primarily in a kitchen. The cast would be made up of ten characters, all of which are female. The characters from the original that I would not transfer to my adaptation would be Felix, Virginie, Butler, Maid, Trouillebert, …show more content…
However instead of an Italian straw hat that has been chewed up, it is an Italian bottle of wine. The bottle of wine belongs to the aunt, who was saving it for Thanksgiving. The wine is important because she needs to drink it on Thanksgiving so she can deal with the family that she is hosting. The problem is, she left it in her car. Then Lilly borrowed her car to drive over to Ashley and Amber’s House. Lilly found the wine and brought it inside and proceeded to drink it. Once Amber realizes it was Aunt’s special wine that Lilly had drunk, she insisted that they find a replacement. Lilly was not in the right state of mind to go out and find a new bottle and Amber stayed at home to take care of her. So, Ashley called an Uber and her and the other girls started on the journey. They decided not to tell the others (the wedding party or group of girls) about the wine because they did not want them to worry or end up spilling the beans. The girls, however, thought they were going to taco bell. So, they go to the liquor store first, to see if they sell the wine. Ashley goes into the cellar with Clara, the owner of the liquor store, while the girls stay in the Uber. The girls get restless, however, and think the liquor store is taco bell. They come in and start ordering tacos from the attendant, Tardine. Clara tells Ashley that they are out of the Italian wine. However, the last person they sold it to was Charmaine, whose family sold drugs for a living. On the way to Charmaine’s house they stop at taco bell for the girls. However, when they get there, Rose, Charmaine’s niece, believes Ashley is there to pick up some drugs. Ashley just wanted the wine, so she figured she would play along with it until she could get the wine. Charmaine comes in and insists that Ashley used some of the drugs before she left, so she knows she is not a narc. Ashley obliges, however she still has the bottle of wine on her
Vermeer’s Hat offers a unique look at the rise of global trade through Brook’s eyes. Brook uses each of the paintings to describe to the audience a different picture of how the world began progressing. Most think of Vermeer as an isolated artist, with no real connection to the world outside of the walls of his mother-in-law’s house. However, as Brook shows us throughout the story, this could not be further from the truth. Brook relies on the paintings to interpret the rise of global trade to show the audience how architecture has contributed to the rise of global trade, how specific objects in the paintings related to trade, and how geography influenced trade.

In Romeo & Juliet, one major element of design is the setting because the film took place in Verona, Italy which suggests the use of décor, costumes, and hairstyles. Zefirelli uses on location within an exterior scene in figure one as a key element of symbolism that portrays the division between the two families living in separate castles. Another element of design that Zefirelli uses are costumes in order to distinguish the differences between the Capulet family and the Montague family. In figures two and three, Juliet is wearing a “high-waisted empire dress made from thick, plush velvet, with flowing sleeves” that is more of a subtle red and gold costume, while the Capulet family’s costumes were more contrast colors of red and gold (CITE). Zefirelli differentiated Juliet from her family in order to portray to the audience that her family is a part of the conflict, while she is portrayed as an unbiased character. He also distinguishes Romeo and his family’s costumes. Romeo’s costume consisted of dark red and blue with some contrast in his sleeves of bright blue, but the Montagues differed from Romeo because the Montagues had no significant bright contrast in their costumes. Another difference was the hairstyles between the Capulets and Montagues and differs in hierarchy amongst the two families. In figure two, the royal Capulet women have the hornedhead dressed cap covering their
In addition to the location, Luhrmann chose to have a contemporary look for the costumes as well. For instance, in the opening scene the Montague boys are sporting Hawaiian shirts and artificially coloured hair whereas the Capulet boys wore leather and metal-heeled boots. This current approach is a major deviation from the traditional Elizabethan wear, location and facilities that were available.
