Vanity Fair
Date
April 2023
Role
Stage Manager
Synopsis
Vanity Fair is the story of one young woman’s rise to the top of England’s shallow upper-class society and her swift fall. Vanity Fair also focuses on the people who populate that world, including Becky’s friend, Amelia Sedley, who in many ways lives out a parallel life to Becky’s. The story itself is presented in a frame of a puppet show, which the narrator introduces at the beginning of the novel. The major conflict surrounds Becky Sharp, the orphaned daughter of an artist and a dancer, and her striving ambition to attain higher social status and money.
The director chose to have a punk rock twist on the show, keeping the dialogue the same, but having base looks for all the characters to be punk while having the background music include punk rock-esque songs.
