Would they be sitting, or standing, or walking, or moving? Explain how you would use the staging, costuming, lighting, music (called the mise-en-scene) to support the dialogue and the theme of the film? Have fun with this!

Comment by Angely D Chand
The first scene of the play sets up the importance of body language and attitude to understanding the theme and characters of the play. The reader can visualize woman 1 rolling her eyes as man 1 blurts out his emotions to her even without full descriptions of what either one looks like. The importance in the tone of reading the play creates a visual image of the characters. The change from woman 1’s attitude when she switches between phone calls develops her persona of being a cheating wife.
The setting is an important factor to the character’s attitude. Woman 1 would be at her home, a nice suburban home that she bought with her business minded husband. Her character would dress sexy, showing off her assets to attract the eyes of many men. She would be wearing a tight dress, and high heels. This would help boost her pride because her husband is travelling to far away places. She would be pacing in the kitchen on her cordless house phone as she switches between her husband and lover, running her hands through her silky hair as she flirts with man 2. She would come off as a bit childish towards man 2, but bored with man 1.
Woman 2 would be a hard working woman who does not dress sexy because she wants to be taken seriously in the business world. Her face would have little make-up and her hair would be straight and dull. Due to the lack of her sex appeal her husband flirts and sleeps with various women. She would be calling man 2 from her private office after deliberating that she couldn’t take his cheating habits anymore. She would be trying to keep her cool about the situation but would fail miserably due to the bitterness she feels.
Man 1 would be the average Joe type of guy he would not look too good or too ugly. He would just easily blend in with the crowd. He would be a very hard worker traveling all around to be able to afford a good life for his beautiful wife. He seems like he would always be excited to get home to his beautiful wife therefore pacing back and forth in the airport terminal running his hand through his messy hair in his disshevled suit and tie. He would be talking on his cellphone flipping it between hands as he paced back and forth, all the while having a huge smile on his face.
Man 2 is brawny and handsome and he also works in the business world, but at a lower position than man 1. He dresses similar to man 1 but puts extra attention into his look, combing his hair and being clean-shaven. He often takes women to bed while his wife is out working. He isn’t a stupid guy because he is able to get beautiful women to sleep with him, but he doesn’t have good moral standards. He does not really care about his wife’s feelings, and would not be to upset if she left, but does not want to initiate talks about ending the marriage.
The staging of the play would have to work to each character’s persona. The make up would have to be heavy on woman 1 playing on her need for beauty and the ability to attract many men. Man 1 should have little dark circles under his eyes to show his lack of sleep for overworking himself to get back home to his wife. The lighting should be bright in the airport and business office of man 1 and woman 2 as they are in public spaces where they don’t have control of the lighting. The lighting should be more dark and intimate for man 2 and woman 1 who are at their homes in privacy planning secret affairs.
The music should play on the humorous tone of the play and be wacky as each character flips through the phone calls. The use of proper mise-en-scenes on each character symbolizes the mischief behind the serious theme of cheating and love. The costumes and staging need to quickly illustrate the characters, while the tone and dialogue between couples should enhance the theme and plot of the play.
Part 2 (use article “ Miss You “)
Please refer to the book “ A Short Guide in Writing about Literature.” analyze the irony in the play. Define irony – what is it? Give examples of where you see it in the play. Is this play a tragedy or a comedy? How do you know? What does the tight dialogue tell us about the characters? Who do we empathize with? Why?
Part 3 (use article “ Wedding Duet “)
In the Order: #2556619 that made by the writer ID: U3684, you have made an essay that related to the article “Wedding Duet”. The essay is about “For this Write-Up, you need to use the questions “Plot and Conflict” on page 214 of our Short Guide book to discuss what the conflict is in this play (or the conflicts, if you feel there are more than one), and how the plot is propelled by the conflict. Is the plot predictable? If so, where is it foreshadowed?”
Your task is not about making an essay based on the topic given but rather you need to give a response to the comment made by the people regarding the topics.
The person below is giving her comment regarding the article title “Wedding Duet”. Please use “ I” as me the respond writer and “you” to refer writer of the comment instead of stating her name. Discuss the conflict in this play
Comment by Hanna Johnson
“Wedding Duet” by Lauren Wilson, is about a newly married overly emotional woman and impatient man. Everything seems to be going perfectly until the groom drops his wife on the threshold. At first she thinks it’s funny, and then suddenly bursts into tears. This is where the conflict emerges. It is surprising to see this drastic change in emotion over something so little. She has a very negative view of things ranging from how she can “never do anything right” to how all she “could think about what how much money it [the wedding] cost and how her parents are going to die”; laughter to doom and gloom in a matter of seconds.
The husband immediately tries to resolve the small conflict by kneeling down with her in the doorway and telling her “it’s not a big deal”. He doesn’t want to sit down and listen to what she has to say or “talk it out” with her. One thing turns into another, and suddenly the bride is taking everything too personally like how he called her “puffy” or how he told her she’s flipping out. Eventually the argument escalates to an all-out fight where the bride breaks her ankle and the groom loses a tooth. After their physical fight, the two sit there and make sure the other is okay. At the end they kiss and make up, seeming to solve the conflict.
The plot and conflict go together in this story. The plot is about a newly married couple getting into a huge fight just three and a half hours after they were married. The conflict emerges because the woman is too emotional and the husband is not understanding or patient enough to deal with her wild emotions. The clash of personalities leaves the reader wondering why they got married in the first place, and the story gives surprising twists when the two start laughing together in the middle of an argument. Perhaps the ability to make up so fast really shows how much they love each other despite their fighting.
Part 4 (use article “ Wedding Duet “)
Please refer to the book “ A Short Guide in Writing about Literature.” What is the significance of the wedding/marriage on the conflict? How do you envision the staging of this play, exactly? What is the play’s theme? How does the plot/conflict propel that theme? What are the parts of narrative that you see (page 201+ of Short Guide identifies them)? Use the “Writing about Plot” questions on page 204 to guide the discussion of the plot and how it functions in this play. Have fun with discussing staging!
