Desdemona and Othello 1986

Grin & Tonic Theatre Troupe

Performed at La Boite Theatre, Brisbane and then at the Sydney Opera House for the 1986 Festival of Sydney

My first very effective interplay of light and paint layering in theatre design. By co-ordinating colours with the lighting designer we allowed the floor to radically change colours to suit the mood of the scene. The tiles were decorated with moorish patterns and lined with gold which would glow in certain lights to enhance the spiders web effect.
