On The Verge...of killing myself

Image: A picture of inside the depths of a jungle. The jungle floor can be seen on the bottom and there are trees sprouting in different directions, an array of different characters/ objects from the play up in branches, crouching down on the floor, or hiding between the shadows of the branches and leaves. There are savages standing on the left side of the poster. An eggbeater laying on the ground off to the side, a yeti lurking in the shadows in the far right, a coffee pot balancing on a branch in the top right corner, Alphonse trying to climb up a tree, and Troll with his hands out to the sides in the back. Then there are words from the script etched into the bark of the trees, as if to show that there are slightly hidden.

Tag Line: Tone of Voice is Everything.

I chose this particular image for the poster to show the absurdity of how these women encounter all of these people or objects during their adventure throughout the jungle and how strange their world is, but intriguing at the same time. Each character has a purpose in their journey and the reason why I had them in specific places was to show how they encounter them. Some of them are not exact, such as the coffee pot. That is suppose to represent Mr. Coffee. But he is up at the top to be closer to the sky in order to symbolize another life, as if going up the heaven. And the words etched into the bark can be any huge word used within the script.

The tag line fits so well with the script because these women are constantly projecting out these large words and each word has a meaning. Just because they know such fancy words does not mean it can get them through anything, not even a jungle. But using a certain tone just might.

  1. I never would have thought of that as a tagline but I definitely think it fits. Before I read your reasoning I was a little unsure, but I definitely think that the fact that the women use big words kind of gives away how lost they are in the modern world. It shows how out of place they are and how they are kind of integrated into modernization throughout the play. However, their tone is what gives them their confidence and personality. No matter where (or when) these women are, we know they will make it through.
