For this live production of David Harrower’s disturbing drama I used light intensity and shifting white color temperature to explore themes of revelation and memory.

Subtle shifts of color transformed the playing space. Cold and concentrated white light evoked a medical exam table. Dirty amber hues conjured a coastal motel room. 

Intensity of light signified Una’s power to expose Ray’s history of abuse to his colleagues and family, culminating in a blinding final scene.
