The lyrics establish characters of the women and not the men
‘My Lady Jane/Anne/Marie’ - spilt into sections
Nice vocabulary used to describe them ‘sweet’ ‘dear’
Much more gentle, slow, relaxed music

Question 4

Describe the transition of Lady Jane to Not Fade Away

Answer 4

Closing Lady Jane
The women surround Lady Jane collapsed on top of each other whilst she unfolds and raises her arms on a diagonal with a smug smile on her face. The men surround them and do the bowing motif.
The music stops so Lady Jane unfolds her arms and the men circle their wrists in silence
The hold this position and the lights quickly fade
Opening Not Fade away
Music and lights start immediately
Same position as previous section and Lady Jane claps her hands to the beat of the music
The cast do little groove off stage to the beat of the music whilst clapping
Rooster is the last to leave and you can see him clapping
They leave the couple on stage
