                            1. When light comes from above/in front- light, happy, sunshine (for captains)
                              1. When light comes from below/behind- shadowy, dark (for the convicts)
                                1. Opening scene with Aborigine. Yellow, warm light onto backcloth. Shone from below-casts huge shadow of character
                                  1. Use of very bright, intense light - unforgiving feel of heat. Used with red to emphasise
                                    1. Prison scene - dark - picked up outlines of people. Gobo used to project bars onto floor. Haze machine used and yellow light was shone through it to create dank, dusty atmosphere. Small highlights on Liz Morden. Picking her out of darkness
                                    2. DIFFERENCES TO ORIGINAL PLAY
