Question

a director wants to use dramatic techniques to show that a play takes place in the 19th century. which two techniques would best show this?
scenery
sound
lighting
blocking
costumes

Explanation:

To show a play is set in the 19th century, scenery (e.g., 19th - century - style rooms, streets) and costumes (e.g., 19th - century fashion like bustles, top hats) are key. Scenery recreates the era's physical environment, and costumes reflect the period's dress. Sound (modern sounds don't fit), lighting (19th - century lighting tech is limited, and lighting style is less period - defining), and blocking (movement of actors, not period - specific) are less effective for showing the 19th - century setting.

Answer:

scenery, costumes
