The set minimalistic in style also very symbolic - how are they interesting images? What ideas do they represent? Are these interesting? Are they distinctly Australian? How?
 * Paragraph 4**

The set's of Matt Cameron's //Ruby Moon// and Jane Harrison's //Stolen// are quite dull and simple (try to find some better descriptions), yet the the images created (the set is a part of the image) are what bring them to life. Australian theatre practioners such as Matt Cameron and Jane Harrison engage their audiences with a variety of ** theatrical styles (performance styles look at your conventions table) (i don't know what that means) ** and techniques**.** The set of //Ruby Moon// has a simplistic style ("minimalisitc in style" is better) as it has a selected amount of objects on display. The images created by the set such as the opening image and Ray and Sylvie looking out the window. (the last two sentences are incomplete and need more information) These images (you have not described any images yet) are interesting as they provide information and depth into the story being told. The set of //Ruby Moon// is symbolic as the chosen set design is bare ????? (No it isn't) and relates to Ruby being taken away from her parents, leaving them daughterless. (that is a bit of a stretch) // Ruby Moon's // set isn't disticly Australian as it does present any items of Australian culture and is seen as a neutral area of living. (Don't confuse yourself with this. The play IS Australian and it IS set in an Australian suburban street. Don't spend time explaining what it ISNT and write about what it IS) //Stolen's// set is also minimalistic in style as it is empty. (No it isn't) However, the plain set allows images such as the lineup of actors to bring the ideas to life. (what ideas and how???) Also, the empty set in //Stolen// symbolises the many lives of the Stolen Generation and how some may feel. (again, this is a stretch) It represents a certain part of their lives that isn't quite there as it was a time of pain, suffering and sadness. Furthermore, the set also isn't distinctly Australian as it is bare and does not have anything that relates to Australia. (Whoa!!! What about the Indigenous actors and the fact the story is distinctly Australian?????)

Claudia - some really big misinformed points here - you need to rewrite some of this paragraph. **
