Set Designs

I can't remember who wanted these, but I promised to show somebody my Sweeney set sketches. Well, here they are. Sorry it took so long. I had lost them.

This are my designs for a more lavish production:


This is how the stage would be set up:

At stage L and R, there would be these two scaffold-towers. From these would come to travellers: one of a nice part of London and one of the London docks. A flat would mask the R. scaffold to create Turpin's home. The pie/barber shop wagon would remain U.C.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that the main focus of this one is quick set changed and to use lighting and shadows.

My second set is a funny concept that I had which I call "Enlarged Objects". This is ideal for a smaller stage.



On stage R. there would be a giant overturned trashcan on its side from which Sweeney and Anthony would enter during "No Place Like London" and the beggar woman would live in it. The bird cage would be suspended in the air. Smoke would come out of the pie once bodies started to be burned. On the barber pole, the red would appear the first time somebody is killed. The white part would be transparent, and the bodies would be put in the pole (being visible to the audience) and fill it.
