Theatre is fraught with enough possible technical disasters as it is, without risking any more.
So to compound the problem wilfully by adding slides, video screens and live music seems to be tempting fate beyond sanity.

Actually, it's a little cleverer than just scene setting because some members of The Beads also appear in the video clips which are projected at the back of the stage to illustrate key moments in Rena's life. So, right from the start, we are in an oddly mixed world of past and present, reality and story.
