The Mother Form and Structure
By Mark Costa
The form and structure for the Mother was very different to that of Sexual Perversity in Chicago, as we used many forms of Epic theatre to produce a feeling of alienation, not allowing the audience to empathize with the play. The scenes were placed episodically, whereas each scene stands for itself yet follows a narrative line. The scene titles were done so that the audience knew what would happen before the scene began, causing a feeling of alienation and describing to the audience what will happen will allow them to focus on how it will happen.
