Set Idea

This is an initial idea for the stage design of the Grimes fairytale 'The Hedgehog and The Hear'. This set is designed specifically for the Olivier Theatre, one of three stages at the Royal National Theatre. I have chosen this space because of the revolving drum which consists of three interchanging semicircular platforms and a revolving outer ring. I wanted to use the drum for the scene set in the Hedgehog's home because I did not want there to be a brake in action and the drum gives the imitation that his house is underground because the set will emerge from the ground.
