"Othello" Design by Jan Bee Brown
"Othello" - TAG Theatre Co, Citizens' Theatre & tour - 1998
Director: James Brining
DESIGNER: JAN BEE BROWN

The water imagery flowing through the text inspired me to use "Gabion Boxes", wire cages used for sea defences. Filled to 1.00m with indigo blue "rocks" they formed streets, entrances, pier, balcony and platform bed. Light, collapsible, tour-friendly, they served as a metaphor for the strength and fragility of love.
