Staging Choices

These pages offer insights into the backstage work supporting the performance. The designer, Tom Piper, gives information about the development of costume and you can see his ideas for the set evolve by looking at the model box. There is also detail on the way an actor physically prepares to play more than one role when one part is the ghost.
