Excerpt from Grandmother Rocker: A Costume Play in One Act
In the production of Grandmother Rocker the direction will undoubtedly vary with the available stage-craft. Though the author feels that the best effect will be gained where it is possible to create the illusion of the characters stepping directly from the pieces of furniture they represent, this identifica tion can be attained through other methods. It is suggested, for instance, that the costumes follow coloring and texture of furniture as closely as pos sible. Judicious use of inconspicuous screens, espe cially, perhaps, in the case of grandfather arm chair and grandmother rocker, will aid in solving the problem. The chief solution, after all, will lie in quick and clever acting, whether this be done by children, as the author would prefer, or by adults. The stage directions in the text are obviously literary and suggestive rather than technical and dogmatic, and the author believes that any ingenious director will work out an effective set.
