This show produced many interesting challenges in set design. The production was taking place in Belmont's blackbox theatre. The director wanted the show to be in-the-round to allow for a lot of audience interaction, but we also needed a lot of space for sword fights and dancing. She also wanted the dances taking place on some of the set pieces including benches, tables, and a wagon so, everything needed to be stabilized. I found inspiration from outdoor festivals. In order to make the audience feel like part of the world, I wanted to fence the risers with wooden railings. I also wanted purple fabric hung over the room to emulate a tent.
