Arthur Miller’s tense and moving drama about the unearthing of a guilty family secret played to a packed drama studio for three nights.
The action, set in 1940’s America, unfolded in the back yard of the Keller’s family home, which was reproduced in the corner of the studio to create a sense of claustrophobia, dominated by the fallen tree planted as a memorial to their missing son.
Subtle lighting and careful pacing of the action helped to enhance the tension as the play moved inexorably towards the final climactic revelation. An important aspect of the production was in the way that space was used to highlight key moments in the text - the relative positioning of actors in relation to the fallen tree was designed to reflect the influence of the dead son on the unfolding drama.
