Last night was our first night in the space and it is beautiful. It's beyond beautiful; it's breathtaking. The synergy of the set and the space is unlike anything I've seen in another space. Our set is a table in a mead hall. With the seats removed, the ceiling vaulting over our heads, lanterns dangling from them, our own lights shedding just enough of a dim glow on everything, the set becomes, not a dressed up space within a theatre or an illusion or a blank space upon which a set stands, but a real thing, an immersive space in which the audience sits, forever surrounded and inundated with the world we create.
It's going to be awesome, in the truest sense of that word. I can't wait. Two more runs and then it's time to do it for real.
