For the last fees days I have been thinking of ways to show Amber's death on stage, ranging from filming a model that was on fire and showing on a projection screen. This wouldn't work because the main problem would be the model would need to be very realistic and I'm not good at art.
A second idea was with lighting but none of the lights in the room didn't look like they would be useful or effective at looking like fire flickering.
To solve this major problem I decided to make the death occur off stage and thought of a way that could be done effectively.
Amber dies on bonfire night, due to someone messing with fireworks causing one to smash through a window and explode in Amber bedroom, setting fire to it at the same time.
This would be the start if the un naturalistic style in the piece, as a person would come on stage with a model firework on a stick, they would be holding the stick near the rocket, 'light' a match, then push the stick away as fast as they can to make it look as if the rocket took off.
The rest of the scene would be mostly lighting effects, pre-recorded screaming and sound design, as you hear a window smash, see the rocket explode and the fire start.
