I started building the set today for RABBIT HOLE, I originally had planned a hyper realistic set, as it seems most of the  productions of the play have had.

Neal Radice suggested I think in terms of partial reality, as the play is so good, the less dressing the better. I have to agree. Often when you have a play that is lacking in written word, you can increase your production values, to bring the show up to a higher level through design and production values.

In this case, I dont think it's warraneted, the lighting is going to be real important, but as far as the set, im thinking fractured reality. I'll have to build a pretty realistic kitchen area with cabinets and overheads but dont plan on really having any walls. the other areas will include a living room/TV area (with a working TV that will play a tape) and the boys bedroom (anybody have toddler Robot sheets??)

Well off to the ALT for the last performance of WAITING FOR ANSWERS and a pool party at one of the actor's parents house.

Best
