Interpretation is how something is viewed and how they can change it.
I have interpreted this as a director. The play is naturalistic so I feel that the set.
The interpretation begins with the plot and thinking about what happens in the play, ad how the conflict i dramatised in the play.
How the character is interpreted is arguably one of the most important parts of interpreting a play and it is good to have a firm idea of how you want a specific character to be played, for example I would want my Ton to be angry and uptight with old school morals, on the other hand because Lynne is younger and also a woman I feel she should be more calm and trying to be get along with the students rather than be the opposite of them.
The dialogue is important because it is what tells the story and gives you a portait of the characters. It is also important to notice any words that may help set the scene, for example in Gotcha when the Kid talks about his nan's 'Joanna' shows that it may well be set in a London school.
The interpretation of the stage directions is crucial as a director as it helps the play be more naturalistic for the audience as well as for the actors.
