FAUST
by Mark Ravenhill
For the Actors’ Touring Company;
Lyric Hammersmith, London and touring
spring 1999
team
director: Nick Philppou
set and costume designer: Pippa Nissen
lighting designer: Zerlina Hughes
music designer: Neil Starr
video designer: Alan Pelletier
The development of the design of ‘Faust is Dead’ happened concurrently with the writing of the script, the making of a video for the performance and the initial rehearsal period. Scenes were made by suggesting an edge to an implied space or by using video to represent a place naturalistically. The elements of the set became the other members of the cast and the real journey of the narrative is mirrored by the dance that the set plays around the characters; in the moving screens, the sliding panel, the television set, and the iron bed.
