Affairs are also issues that a prominent in the 21st and the way people usually discover them are via messages and social media, so using that structure for the affair to be exposed/communicated makes it modern.

•By modernising the piece it opens it up to a larger target audience and also educates them on these things.

•I want to do this concept because the themes of arranged marriages and Affairs. The idea behind doing this is to show younger audiences that there are different ways in which a relationship works, some good, some bad. In both the country wife and in today’s modern age arrange marriages are still a thing in some cultures and it is something that needs to be taught that not only it happens but you don’t have to do it.

Another part of relationships that will be looked at are affairs and how they are dealt with, in this series Mr Horner and Mrs Pinchwife have an affair due to the way her husband treats her. This is common due in today’s society that women who are in abusive and controlling relationships, sometimes cheat in order to escape from the situation they are currently in or to just feel loved again.

The idea behind this in the story is to show the audience that you don’t have to be stuck in a controlling relationship in the 21st century or cheat. It also shows how actions have consequences

# data[].attributes.body
There will also be the situation of arranged marriage.

•The idea behind showing arranged marriage is to tell the audience you can’t be forced to marry someone

My idea for the re-design is to make the play into a Tv series similar to that you see on Netflix.

This will consist of 7 or 8 episodes which is the script split up. Each episode will focus on some of the theme of different styles of relationships.
