THE CHILDREN'S HOUR - Lakewood Playhouse, January 2013
This turned out to incredibly effective in the round for this intense production. The choice by the theatre to present it in the round meant space was very tight, but this turned out to be an advantage. One of few sets I have ever deliberately designed to be uncomfortable - but it works for the play. Also designed the lights.

-------------------
A great deal of my career seems to have been spent convincing directors
that walls for walls' sake are boring. Luckily for me, some of them
didn't need a lot of persuasion. I always want to hone in on the
details - those things that you remember about a place years after the
wall mass is long forgotten. In the heightened emotionality of dramas,
this can be incredibly effective and provide opportunities for Lighting
to play a much more active and evocative emotional role. You will also
see, I've come up with some successful traditional settings too. It's
still all in the details!
