Notes on Set
The action takes place in an underground world. Sets are dark, stone like as if carved out of rock, lighting is bleak and lantern lit except; in act one, when the beautiful witch tells her stories, where the set becomes dream-like, bright and fantastical, utilising puppetry. And in act two, at the very last scene, where the set becomes floodlit from behind creating silhouettes.
