Beauty Queen of Leenane
It proved too difficult and expensive to find a functional stove of the required design so we lovingly built this one. We enjoyed this little build to complement the full set with working doors and removable stove tops as part of the action. Very much sold by the amazing scenic art.

Hugo Awards
Another enjoyable little build from a few years back. Designed by our very own Chris. The brief was… well brief, a London theme and to hold the precious Hugo awards, the front panels had a Tower of London look to them and tracked round to reveal the awards.
Not technically a prop on this occasion.

Ghost Town
A set piece built to look like a section of driftwood. Slightly complicated by its need to break up into 4 smaller sections. A real mix of skills went into this one, carpentry, metal fabrication, fibreglass, poly carving and scenic art.
We also theorised energy and mass are interchangeable but turns out someone beat us to that one.

Wind in the Willows
We weren’t let loose on the main stage for this one, instead we built various props and set pieces for the backstage experience, including these jetties, living trellis walls and toads wardrobe that turned into a boat! (that one was allowed on stage)

Set Design – Lydia Denno and Cathrine Chapman
The Wardrobe
The brief was a Narnia style wardrobe to fit a number of actors, to be trucked and with double hinged doors in order for the wardrobe to fully open up and bring the audience within. I think we achieved that and I hear 7 years later its still being used.

Two
When you can’t find 4 of the correct tables with an LED strip down the middle.

Thank You For Doing Nothing
Light boxes that looked just the part on this set, we’re still finding the glitter from this one.
