Lam

Notes:
Billed as a "black farce" this provided the twin challenges of an all-white set with gloss finish and a venue I didn't know. I visited the venue a week before the show and realised the importance of noting the positions of wooden roof beams across most of the lighting positions. The set meant I could really play with colour and reflected light here. The lighting changed from relatively bright and naturalistic at the start of Act 1 (Venetian Blind gobos, washes of orange down the walls, bright front light) to an increasingly saturated palette as the intensity of the character's emotional turmoil became more obvious. The image above is the end of the show when it's clear that the characters are locked in a desperate world with no way out.

Apologies for the poor quality of these photographs. Never leave your decent camera at home and buy a cheap disposable camera.
