Parliament Square

A circular stone path cut through the stage, anchoring the world of Parliament Square in a space that felt both ritualistic and inescapable. That central image became a symbol of repetition—echoing the cycles of social struggle while reflecting Kat’s own inner journey toward her final act of protest.

Concrete and fractured surfaces shaped the environment, their erosion mirroring Kat’s unraveling faith in the institutions around her. The palette stayed cold and gray, stripping the space of comfort and creating a setting that felt both public and isolating. Every choice was about grounding the audience in a world where decay and inevitability pressed against the character’s private despair.

By keeping the design minimal, I wanted the focus to remain on the action and the difficult questions the play demands. Without ornamentation, the stage invited a meditative rhythm while holding a sharp edge of confrontation. The audience could not escape the weight of Kat’s decision, nor the political and personal cost it carried.

The scenic world became more than a backdrop—it embodied the themes of sacrifice and resilience that drive the play. The stone circle, the textures of decay, and the empty expanse worked together to hold the tension between the human and the political, leaving the story to resonate long after the final scene—fighting for change.
