Set
A room in a castle. The castle is an old fashioned building with stone walls. It bears the signs of those who have lived there over the years. Although those the castle housed have overcome the bleak formality of its architecture, it does not feel like a family home. It is quite a daunting place. Apart from mantelpiece, old paintings etc, the room specifically contains three doors leading to other parts of the castle, of which only one is open. The room also contains a large old chair in keeping with the antique d cor of the place. As the performance unfolds in the round, the castle comes to life as an animate puppet capable of coughing dust and weeping coins. As the closed doors open what's behind them changes to reveal projected films. The set must be versatile and light weight enough for 2 people to set up and take down easily.
