Set
Design
As a set designer, I am responsible for creating the look and mood of the scene or stage for actors in film, television and stage productions.
A set designer does this by researching, designing, making and purchasing items to be used by those on stage.
The set must provide strong visual support to the story, concept and context of the production as a whole.

Romeo & Juliet
TROPICAL ARTS ANNUAL SHAKESPEARE @ THE TANKS
Year of production: 2012
An ancient grudge corrodes community harmony again and again in a re-imagined sci-fi setting, with the Capulet’s as ‘augmented’ humans and the Montague’s as ‘naturals’. Their bitter feud embodies our modern struggle with technology. A steampunk Romeo kills the cyborg Tybalt, while the 5-clone Juliet reflects the many facets of a teenage girl struggling to know herself in a world gone mad. Shakespeare’s tragic love story will tear at your heart like never before. Tropical Arts’ features professional performers working alongside community actors, in a cast which showcases the diversity of our community.
