The Village Mood

imageI think this image of a quaint Irish village with an over cast sky is a great representation of the mood I’m trying to set for my play. The idea of conflicting signals has always fascinated me. Being somewhere that looks safe, but feel dangerous. That feeling in your gut that says “run, now”. Ignoring your deeper instincts in order to fit in or appear strong. Being in a sweet little town that looks inviting, but is concealing a dark secret. I think that the town my play is set in will reveal itself its character as the story unfolds.
