Conceptualising 2 - Overall Concept

There have been a number of different interpretations of MND over the years.  As you have researched Adrian Noble chose to conceptualise his version as a circus. 

Others have relocated the action away from the traditional enchanted wood. Some have even used the play a a metaphor for the effects that narcotics have on society (I'll leave you to consider that one).

How would you present MND?
What would your over-arching concept of the play be like?

What would be the point?  How would it be relevant?

Where would it be located?

The important thing to rememeber are...

1.  It is a comedy.
2.  There need to be two distinct realms.
3.  The audience need to be able to automatically feel 'ok' with whatever you do.

Your ideas please...
