Set Design • Stage designers are responsible for designing stage settings for productions. This can range from single scene dramas, to complex scenery and scene
Blood brothers • The story is a contemporary nature vs. nurture plot, revolving around fraternal twins who were separated at birth. • The twins' different backgrounds take them to opposite ends of the social spectrum(Edward is raised in the Lyon’s house and Mickey is raised by his birth mother in the Jonhstone house), one becoming a councillor and the other unemployed and in prison. • They both fall in love with the same girl, causing a tear in their friendship and leading to the tragic deaths of both brothers.
Below is a set for the play blood brothers Two areas are semi-permanent - the Lyons house (Left) and the Johnstone house (Right). We see the interior of the Lyons’ comfortable home but usually only the exterior front door of the Johnstone house
