Background

Hidden was a collaboration between Vanishing Point and third year acting students at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.

Two interconnecting shows took place concurrently in the New Athenaeum Theatre and The Chandler Studio. The shows were created by students working with Vanishing Point Artistic Director Matthew Lenton and Associate Director Sandy Grierson.

Hidden is a labyrinth of stories centred around two men who have escaped from a hostage situation in a shopping centre. Resting in a luxury hotel room, watched over by a Police Welfare Officer, things seem to be going well for the two escapees until the kidnappers announce that unless the two men voluntarily return, they will begin shooting the remaining hostages. At first nobody takes them seriously, but soon a dark, creeping guilt ensues and the world around them begins slowly to turn upside down.

Hidden performed from Tuesday 30 October to Saturday 3 November. Each show performed twice each night, at 7.30pm and 9.00pm.


Design

Hidden 1 : "Escape", was performed in the New Athenaeum Theatre and designed by Steph Todd

Hidden 2 : "Home" was performed in the Chandler Studio Theare and was designed by Kirsten Hogg

Sound Design - Mark Carry


Production Challenges

The Brief

Mhairi Begg was charged with making a set of double wardrobe doors open and close "magically". Making the job harder was the fact that the audience could see inside the doors when open and therefore simple push sticks were unacceptable. The doors also needed to be opened and closed by the actors/actresses and for this it was necessary the doors be able to open/close individually.

The Solution

The solution was found using existing pulley blocks and sash cord. Drawings are below
