Stanislavski's Acting Technique- Historical Post 4

When is the scene? What is the season? Time of day?

When re-creating the scene in my head, I would describe the time of year as a cold, crisp winters evening in November of 1932.  It would only be early evening however, so the sun would be slowly setting.  There would be no snow, but it would be frosty, and you would be able to see the air you breathe in the cold air outside.  If you were to look out the window, the street lamps would be lighting up the streets, but the streets would feel empty because of the political troubles.  However if you were to look out Cliff's window, the occasional Berlin citizen would walk past wearing long, warm coats to keep them warm, and maybe a flat cap if it was a man.  Sally would be dressed in a more sophisticated manner than you would find her when she was on stage, she'd be wearing tights to keep her legs warm and a long, tatty overcoat, done up to the top.  Although, not her fur coat as she would have just sold this to pay for the abortion of her baby.
