This play was the fourth and final play in the 2006 Summer Rep
Season at the Lyceum Theatre, Crewe. I had to produce four different
sets in four weeks, with a day-and-a-half turn around between
each show.
The show
was set in a Spanish Villa and re used nearly all the elements
built for the previous three shows. The white arches (already
employed in week two for Gym and Tonic) reappeared surmounted
by the wooden beams of a pitched roof, the serving hatch used
in The Opposite Sex was remodelled to become a wall safe, even
the trellis work from the second show came in useful giving
depth to the garden. It was quite a challenge producing four
sets in four weeks. My approach was not to treat them as wholly
individual plays but to design them almost as if they were different
acts of one vast play.
