Explore the impact of social, cultural and historical on your play

The historical, amicable and cultural influenced our play immensely because in order to create an go steadying of our stimulus gender we demand to explore different sides to gender. We dogged that in order for the audience to sour out the meaning behind our play they needed to fully understand the root of gender both previous(prenominal) and present. During the creation of our play we persuasion it was important to bring up certain topical issues, we decided the important issues would be how women were treated in the past and present, internal violence, love and relationships, stereotypes and social roles.We chose the idea of lion tamers because it was based on a circus until now we twisted it so the scene was lady tamers to show how women were treated in the past. We started off with the ladies as wild animals with the men in the middle shouting out the orders such as wash the floor. Then we went onto more modern techniques were we stood in a Stepford wife pose and spok e lines such as make up dinner ready, plan even the night before so he can have a warm meal on time.In order to create a realistic impression of what womens roles were in the past we looked at The Good housewifes guide this was a booklet of discipline from the 50s grave young women how to be a good housewife and because some of the instruction were incredibly and unrealistic which we thought the audience would find humorous. We then decided to do go the other extreme with the scene where the ladies take over, we valued the women to be powerful both mentally and physical this was to show how generation have changed and in particular how women in society have changed.A very important issue we wanted to concentrate on was house servantated violence because this was a hard hitting issue involving gender. We researched different aspects of domestic violence and found that it is equally common nowadays as it was in the past and although it isnt necessarily true for every case men seem to be the of the problem. We had a real problem incorporating this issue into the initial idea of the circus because we didnt know how to make a serious topic humorous. eventually we came up with a Punch and Judy sketch and this was Perfect because it showed the issue of domestic violence and stuck to the idea of the circus.As a group we decided that it would be nice to look at the electropositive side of gender because up till then it had all been negative. We used the idea of a tightly fitting rope act to show the ups n downs of relationships and love, we had a boy at one end of the tight rope and a girl at the other and they would walk along and take turns saying what they didnt like around each other and the other person would begin to wobble on the tight rope however after each little computer address they would end it with but I love him/her. We wanted to embrace the adversary sexes differences and make the audience view gender in a positive light.
