As a director in order to prepare my actors to perform the scene where the girl reads the letter, I would use hot-seat for the actors who were playing the people who want to enter the Darkwood Manor. I would ask them questions on why they wanted to go and visit the house, was it for the money , to prove a point or to prove they were brave.
Also during our performance we could also use improvisation. Because in our performance we could go back in time (which we do) we have to make some bits look bigger and more important.
As well as that I can also use the stage type in the round, when you use in the round the audience sit in a circle. Its quite hard because most of the time you can't have your back to the audience, this will not be very nice seeing our backs all of the time.
In our performance we can make some scenes, scary because at the end all of the lights "turn off" and when they turn back on all of the statuses are pointing at us and we all scream. That might make some people in the audience jump too.
The theme in our play/scene was horror so we had to make it as scary as possible to try to scare the audience, this will make it interesting and exciting for them to watch.
