Project Description
This was a new show written for the fringe set on a train station platform. Eight strangers open up and tell their stories, each of which comes from interviews with modern Britons. The sense of isolation for each meant that there must be somewhere distinct for each of them at the start of the show, but allow them to come together. Similarly the lighting was very distinct for each characters song, while trying to reflect the show musically as well. Each song has different influences musically and this was reflected in some lighting choices. Due to the verbatim nature of the show I felt the set had to be naturalistic, but by altering the colours slightly from what’s normally seen, it felt real and yet as if we were somewhere else, something the writer and director was very happy with.
