Alumnae Theatre Company’s production of The Drowning Girls closed on Saturday night to another packed house at the end of an incredible run – and I was lucky to be able to see it one last time before our closing night celebration at Betty’s and the inevitable set strike the following day. I have toContinue reading “Fond farewell to The Drowning Girls”
Revelation & redemption – The Drowning Girls
When we enter the theatre, the three women are already onstage, splayed out in the semi-darkness in the three bathtubs. Drowned. The bathtubs emerge from jagged-toothed holes in the ground, yawned forth like coffins – each with a blank foot stone facing downstage. Vines snake around the shower plumbing above each tub. Beautiful white birchContinue reading “Revelation & redemption – The Drowning Girls”

The continuing love affair with burnt umber – The Drowning Girls set
I have often said that the set ain’t finished till the burnt umber goes up. Often used in finishing touches, especially with dry brushing and distressing techniques, burnt umber is a gorgeous, warm dark chocolate brown on the reddish side of the brown spectrum. Imagine my glee when The Drowning Girls set designer Ed RosingContinue reading “The continuing love affair with burnt umber – The Drowning Girls set”
