The Admirable Crichton, with its
radical location changes, is demanding on the set designer. I designed the sets
for the 2002 Barnfield Theatre production around a common factor: a backdrop of
ocean and foliage, the latter based on the stylised jungle paintings of Henri
Rousseau such as
The
Dream. The set was used bare for the undeveloped island. For the house
scenes, a white framework representing conservatory windows was flown in. For
the developed jungle, a set of folding screens indicated the houses. |

An Inspector CallsClare Girvan designed this set
for Fran Manhire's ELTC production of Priestley's An Inspector Calls,
performed at the Barnfield Theatre, Exeter, in March 2002. This set - described
as "excellent" in David Marston's review for the Exeter Express and Echo
- aimed to create an inward-focused and claustrophobic atmosphere, breaking
away from the rectangular format that plagues amateur staging of 'drawing-room'
plays. |
