In the start or the scene when Ernie and his Auntie May are
watching a wrestling match, I think they should be positioned at stage right,
slightly turned towards the audience that is to make sure they are seen by the
audience and not just the first person closest to the audience.
The wrestler should have his arms held above his head to
show he won the last match. He should have an almost
boastful look of his face while giving gestures to suggest he is challenging
the audience, which would make the audience think he is a very competitive character
When it is time for Auntie May to enter the wring she should
be very clumsy about getting in, to make her seem more vulnerable.
Whilst this is happening the wrestler should be scoffing at
her to the audience, whilst pointing at her.
When Auntie May is preparing to fight she should be hopping from
foot to foot, to show
she is up for a challenge.
The referee should be between the two, looking as if he is
trying to stop the fight. He should look worried.
After this, all but Ernie should make a freeze frame of the
man cheering Auntie May on, of the referee trying to stop the two, the wrestler
backing off and Auntie may holding her hands up in a fist.
Ernie should walk into the middle of the stage then stand in
front of everyone else, making his wish/illusion.

To achieve this give specific examples of the questions you
would ask a character and what sort of responses an actor might give. Say what
they will find out about their character and how they feel in the scene you are
directing.
T) A hot seat can develop a performance
by giving the audience a little more information about the character they are
watching.
