All's Well That Ends Well
Drapery, heraldic detail, and operatic reveal carried this New Swan production between the ceremonial restraint of Roussillon and the warmer theatrical world of Florence.

Description
Curtains became the architecture for All's Well That Ends Well at New Swan Theatre Festival. Rather than building heavy scenic structures, I treated drapery as the central language of the production: structure, threshold, concealment, and reveal.
In Roussillon, blue drapery and heraldic signage created a clear, ceremonial court. A pedestal for the rings became a visual anchor, allowing the production to return to an object charged with promise, pursuit, and disguise.
