The Great British Weekend

Whilst working at the Pleasance in Edinburgh I also worked designing on a show called The Great British Weekend, a site specific promenade show performed across the Mound, ending the the entire set being packed into the car and driven away!

Below are some initial costume and set sketches for the show.

 The performance began in the 1920's at a badminton game in a grand country house garden, then moved into the 1950's at the beach, a 1960's protest rally, 1980's consumer hell, ending in the present day packing the car to leave to go on holiday.

Looking for the Rainbow..

I have been working on new costume drawings for the SBTD exhibition next year, here is the first of two drawings, showing Kirsty!

Looking for the Rainbow..

Today was the last show of Looking for a Rainbow, at Lakeside Arts Center. This was my first and last opportunity to get some good images to display at the SBTD exhibition in January, I hope some of these will be good enough!

Bittersweet Sunshine..

Bittersweet Sunshine opened at the Carriageworks in Leeds on the 17th June. The set looked really nice in the venue, here are some images I took during the dress rehearsal.

This is the hat I have made for the character of the air hostess, I found her a very similar suit to the drawing and I and altering it this week, I still need to find the shoes!

Bittersweet Sunshine..

Last week I went to Leeds to see the set, the projection screen is still to come, but all the paint work is finished. The set was built by a company called Q division. I was really impressed by the quality and the price of the set. We are still sourcing some furniture and altering some costumes ready for the performances starting on the 21st June, at the Carriage works, Leeds.

Under Milk Wood..

Under Milk Wood opened last week, here are some images from the dress rehearsal.

Dream Play modelbox..

I have been developing the design in the model box for A dream Play,  working on a back wall structure, combining some elements of the different location and ideas that become more obvious and prominent throughout the play. The back wall also combines the door that is referred to throughout the play.  I'm currently developing the relationship between the tower and other areas with the idea of a montaged back wall.
