"Melancholy" A Play In Two Acts

Abstract

The stage is split into two levels. The upper level holds a walled-off study carrel, complete with table, chairs, and a door leading offstage. Upper level, stage left, holds the dormitory door with stairs leading down to the second level—this space is also referred to as “the platform.” Melany’s dorm room is on the lower level. It holds bed, desk, chair, mirror, double closet doors, a four-pane window, and a door to the hallway. Melany’s desk features a computer only after the initial dream sequence.
