The Visit

I thought it was time to post some of my theater work, seeing as how it's all getting buried in Fine Art. This a is 1/2"-1' scale model of a set design that I made in class last semester. The Show was called The visit,  by Friedrich Durrenmatt. The show is about an impoverished town on the brink of starvation, that is visited by a former resident who has, since leaving, become a billionaire. She offers to give the town 1 billion dollars, provided they kill her ex-boyfriend. It is a very brechtian play with a sardonic tongue and cheek nature and many locations. I attempted to fit both the needs and the style of the play by creating a unit set that could function to adapt to the many locations and also add to the dry humor of the writing style.
