Kate Unwin  Master Harold & the Boys

October 2004

Venue: Leicester Haymarket Theatre

 

  

 

By Athol Fugard Directed by Kully Thairai Lighting Design by James Farncombe Set built by Visual Scene

 

Master Harold was playing in rep with To Kill A Mockingbird so both sets used the same raked stage platform which jutted into the audience. The turnaround was simple, the flats of the tea room flew in and a different floor surface was laid. The set operated as a functional tearoom, the clock ticked in real time and rain poured down the windows throughout the play. You can see the tree from Mockingbird through the window.
