what we got taught at school is this.
1.u write a little bit about what a feminist interpretation is
2. then u say how it would be achieved thru the whole of kl
3.then u focus on several specific scenes and suggest hgow specific dramatic techniques would highlight the interpretation
4. during this link it to some other production that have a feminist production eg. u mite say i have decided to use flodded lighting over all the characters similar to peter brookes production.
then do the same with another interpretation.
ur likely to get a question about how "no text is static" (meaning they all have more than one interpretation) and discuss it in relation king lear and say why they cant be static

in relation to ur marxist question- ud state that u would set in it the period of the russian revolution as by changing the context of the text u are presenting the values of the marxist era. get what im saying? like u would set a feminist one in the time of the suffragettes to show the women characters values are to get the power they deserve
