Set in France during the Medieval plague, but with many contemporary references in the script, the set had to encompass a large cast and many locations. My central idea was that during the plague the whole world is dying, not only the people, so the set was in a state of collapse on one side, with heaps of rubbish along the back wall. Out of this debris came the props for the plays which take place within the main play. The circular shape allowed the characters to 'journey' around the stage, and with lighting it was possible to focus down onto single areas.
