Set Model by Fred Kinney

Finished Set in Production

“Set and Costume Designer Fred Kinney and I are working hard to be faithful to the very letter of Beckett’s stage directions. The play will take place in “a bare interior” as Beckett specifies and not a subway station, a forest or on the moon. Our bare interior, however, will be an interior that is familiar, an interior our audience has seen before. Fred and I toured San Francisco in December and looked at old, run down Victorian houses for our research. Similarly the characters will be people from our world, maybe people we pass by everyday on the street.” -from production notes “Why Beckett” by director Rob Melrose
