Dead Men’s Wars
The set has literal soapboxes set up for the cast to mount, with most conversations broadcast at range from warring pulpits. [CityNews]
This evocatively staged production, powerfully staged on Christiane Nowak’s expressionistic timber scaffold set and enhanced by Niklas Pajanti’s lighting design and Coleman Grehan’s sound design. [CanberraCriticsCircle]
The action takes place on a stage with minimal clutter (scaffolding in the rear and mini stages from which the cast deliver key dialogue). Early in the piece many sheets of paper are scattered across the stage, presumably representing the mass of material produced on both sides of the Ditch since 1915 to build up the received view of the Dardanelles campaign.
