On The Razzle Set



Had a good long meeting with Alan on Wednesday. He's got a great set design for the play (see photo. More at http://www.flickr.com/photos/ptmoore/sets/72157612202259216/). The pictures are of a preliminary model as he will be scaling it up shortly.

The main feature is the pair of revolves, each 10 ft diameter at stage left and right. These each hold a window and counter. The revolves will turn and lock into various positions giving us a simple way of showing the various locations specified by Mr Stoppard's play.

The outstanding major issue is how we work the money canister contraption which is required for both the opening and closing scenes, yet needs to be absent for the rest of the play...
