Set Design

Here is the set design that I have drawn for the play 'A Memory of Lizzie'. As most of the scenes take place in a schoolyard, I found it essential to have props that could be found in an ordinary school yard. I added trees that did not have any leaves because it adds to the horrific effect of the play and trees without leaves can symbolise death/decay, etc. The white cloth in the background with the blood provides as an appropriate background because some parts of the script mention using an axe to kill cats and people so when you do that, blood obviously splatters around. I kept the design fairly simple because that way the stage does not look too overcrowded and unattractive.
