Location: Seattle, Washington
Time: September 5-October 5, 2008
Director: Allison Narver
Set Designer: Matthew Smucker
Lighting Designer: Michael Wellborn
Narver and her excellent production team realize the theatrical potential of the play with an ever-shifting visual and sound scape.
Matthew Smucker's set evokes Eurydice's world (above and below) as an empty swimming pool with tiled floor, rusting metal drain and diving board (where some pivotal action occurs). Michael Wellborn's terrific lighting expands and multiplies the spatial possibilities. And Chris Walker deserves much credit for a sound design that changes moods with the plucking of a long lyre string, some spare and lyrical piano music, a big-band version of "Don't Sit Under the Apple Tree" and some very ominous synthesizer.
