Importance of Pace
The pace of scenes in a play is important as it can influence the understanding of the mood, style etc. A scene that has a face pace, can suggest the scene is being rushed, with the sense of urgency. A scene that has a slow pace, can suggest the scene it is dragging for emphasis, with a more relaxed atmosphere. However these can mean mayn things, which is why pace is a significant aspect as it needs to be right for that situation to give the right message. If pace isn't controlled well, a scene/play may be misinterpreted by the audience as they won't be able to connect/lose connection with the performance.
For example, in our production WWOD, in Act Two the scenes are all of a slow, delaying speed. This is because it is trying to portray the long length of time Lisa spent in the hospital ward, and the dullness of it. However in Act One, the Britney scene needs to be fast paced to show the chaotic characters and atmosphere.
