Produced by Ghostlight Theatricals at Stone Soup. Director Beth Rass felt the greatest themes of the script dealt with the duality of punishment and forgiveness. We noticed old prisons and old churches had a tremendous amount in common architecturally. With a scenic budget of $200 and only a 11’x13’ playing space, the “easy” solution was to transform the entire space with these themes in mind. 3 of the 4 walls of the 3/4 thrust were painted with a light stone finish, which was then aged. A covering meant to simultaneously convey bars and a confessional window was built over the real exterior window, while an “iron” plate with crosses covered the booth window, which was in the upstage wall of the playing space. One chair and one bench were brought on stage when needed.
