IMPROBABLE: Panic

Prop and set construction for Improbable theatre company on their latest show 'Panic', including construction of fornicating animal shadow puppets.  The show was heavily reliant on visual projections and brown paper. The set had a scaffold structure as a base, which was transformed in simple and dynamic ways as the show progressed. 

Toured Newbury, Liverpool and Leeds, England and Ohio, USA. Final performances at the Barbican, London April/ May 2009.
