Set
This was a challenging set to work on: it presented many technical difficulties and challenges for all departments.
Set Elements
- The set was built on 4 levels: -3000mm - Below Stage, 0mm - Stage, +3000mm - 2nd Story Of Stage, +8000mm - Suspended Platform
- Each of these levels were linked by a staircase: a L-shaped stair linked below stage and stage, a spiral stair linked the 1st and 2nd story of the stage and a straight, custom built, steel framed stair at 53 degrees linked the 2nd story to the suspended platform
- Access to below stage was given by a permanently open L-shaped hole 1800mm in length (of both sides)
- 3 working doors which were slammed regularly and had to hold while shoes etc. were thrown at them
- Live sound effects of running water were used on stage
- A working window through which many cast entered and exited
- The first 20mins of the play were done in complete blackout (this included the Fire Exit signs and the un-maintained lights)
- The whole stage was covered in close to 100 lit real flame candles for 20mins of the 2nd half during a crowded party scene and which were extinguished in 30secs during a very quick scene change
- 2 actors regularly climbed and descended the back stairs linking the +8000mm suspended platform and the 2nd story of the stage
- A live thud sound from the "basement" (as if someone had hit their head very hard)
