March 1998 Seneca's Oedipus adapted by Ted Hughes at the Northcott Theatre, Exeter. Lighting Design : Jon Primrose Set Design & Direction : John Durnin Click for a bigger image               Notes: A really pleasing result here. My first really stylised design, a good communication with the set designer/director enabled me to establish the look of the show early on, and work through the rehearsal process with it in mind. The more stylised moments in the piece were highlighted with strong beams, while real firelight provided a beautiful earthy quality. The chorus were sharply crosslit on the climbing poles upstage of the set. A hazer was used throughout the show, and for about 30 minutes before the show started to ensure the atmosphere was thick with haze.
