Description James Devonport's set design is truly ingenious. A type of cardboard overlays the stage, in which the footprints of the cast are imprinted as they walk upon it. The beach is conjured physically, and the stark barren beauty lends much to the interpretation of the text. Tiffany Franks and Richard Keene's lighting accompanies the set perfectly, with blue beach-y hues and stark backlights. Costume wise, the rolled up trousers and shirts also reference the setting of the beach.
