ALL OF THE ABOVE : three short works

Bully

If Cat and Dog Could

Shelf Life

SYNOPSIS:

What happens when the set is envisioned before the texts? What do the same objects mean to minds working with words, film, sound and live action? What stories flow when the inanimates come first?
Artist Marg Horwell created a trio of intricately crafted objects and invited others to invent their stories.

These performances and the objects that inspired them are presented on Horwell’s set, under a lighting design by Richard Vabre.
