The staging of act iii is particularly interesting on the points of representation and presentation. I would go for more of a representational set up of this act because I think it would emphasis the comedy, portraying it in a way so that the audience understands and is constantly reminded that it is a comedy hence it’s title. Representation in the sense that, as my group displayed in class, the characters peer over the wall in plain view of the onlookers over the wall yet not making eye contact and talking as though speaking through the wall in a very comic fashion.
