Over the last week I have been designing the projected images for a play that will be performed in Ireland in late February and early March. The play, which is called The Same Old Moon, is a humorous account of a womans memories of Ireland in the 1940s and 1950s.
Since the play has quite a light hearted script, and the director is taking a rather playful approach to the text, I thought that I might also take similar liberties with the design. The projections are going to work as a visual narrative, establishing the time and place of each act, in the moments before each scene begins. As the play spans over 40 years, the real challenge for me will be trying to indicate the passing of time to the audience without being too descriptive.
This image is the first to be finished so far for the production. It will probably also be used as the poster design for the show... (Although, personally, I think it is a little too busy to function well from a graphic design point of view).

I will upload other images as I create them.

I can see from the poster it's gonna be long story. Also as a costume designer, that kind of time scale is a always challenge, but I know you can handle it.
Good luck with your new project.
Thanks Veronica,
I'm going to need luck!!!
It turns out that this image will not be used for the production after all... so its back to scratch for me...
hmmmph!
