Would love the thrust stage. Getting close to the audience. Talk about Dunbar high at some point. I loved his essays on this. Also, don’t forget how strong and intimidating Sowell is. He’s a real man In the best sense. I wish I had his strength.
I believe a thrust stage is pivotal - and that certain entrances and exits of Sowell should be FROM the audience ( Labyrinth theatre did this often in productions - and it always had a weight and gravitas to it).
Depending on the space, thrusts (and vomitoria) offer a variety of staging options. I'm glad you agree with my instinct on this. Time will tell as I continue to build the show, but I truly think the intimate approach will be best.

I definitely want to channel Sowell's immense presence and authority into my performance. I'm told that as a teacher he was especially scary 😂
