Thrust Staging

Advantages

  • Creates an intimate atmosphere
  • A unique experience for each side of the audience
  • Projection can be easy
  • The audience can see each other which could be used for effect

Disadvantages

  • Actors may feel intimidated
  • Blocking can be challenging due to a lack of clear US/DS/SL/SR
  • Limited entrances and exits
  • Audience may feel distracted by each other
  • Performing to two sides may feel artificial for actors

Evaluation

This would not be an appropriate staging type for Blood Brothers.
