Medieval Dramaturgy Post #9.

Below you will find a video link that will take you to a video which I feel is the way in which most people are told about Noah's Ark. Where Noah and his family built a boat and took two animals of every kind aboard the boat and then it rained for forty days and forty nights and flooded the land for one hundred and fifty days. Then all evil people were gone and Noah and his family helped to rebuild and populate the land.

Although I agree with the facts behind the story, such an Ark was built, it flooded and Noah's family and animals were saved. I also feel that it had to have been a stressful ordeal and a horrific time with lots of time  to worry and second guess their decision during the entire process. 

With this production I don't want to have that Sunday school feel I want to portray real human emotion. Second guessing, desperation and the fact that they should be unsure about what they are doing.
