LIGHTENING
1. Williams knows what is going to happen next on stage, unlike the people who are watching the play. Thus, he can use his knowledge to create a certain mood, atmosphere on stage by changing the lights.
2. I wouldn't do anything differently, I would never agree to get invovled with something in a play, especially not being an expert for light.

1.
The use of the slides, music and lighting allows Williams to control the plot of the story easier.Allows the reader to imagine the scene and the viewer of the play to understand the plots status.These tools create the atmosphere and dension in the story.
2.I personally wouldn't change anything in Williams' execution of slides lighting and music because this is a well thought out play where everything falls into place and by altering these factors in the play, Williams' point or idea will not be the one that he wanted to give to the audience/readers

Lightening
1. Williams guide us through the play with the usage of lightening by pointing the light toward the character or the part of the scene where the action will happen next. Most of the time he does this in the authors notes because then he actualy explains the scene saying where should/shouldn't the light be placed on the way.
2. I won't change much except maybe put in some lights that come in from the window area, like it was coming from the nearby theatre.

SLIDES
1. The slides are being used by Tennessee Williams to show us or the readers what is happening in every begining of a scene. This means that these slides help us to see what really happens in the begining of the play so we don't have a introducteion before the begining of every scene but slides that help us see.
2. I would do nothing differently, since everybody knows that Pictures help the human mund to understand better than words.
9:00 AM
During the whole play, the light concentrates mostly on Laura and we have the clearest image of her. Before the family's downfall there is no electricity and the light comes from the candles. This 'darkness' in a way forshadows the downfall of the family.
In the parts of the play when Tom the narrator speaks, I will put him behind a white almost transparent curtain and there will be play with lights. In this way it will look as a trip back to the past.
