Parliament Square
Design Notes
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 cycles of social struggle while reflecting Kat’s inner journey toward her final act of protest.
Concrete and fractured surfaces shaped the environment, their erosion mirroring Kat’s unraveling faith in institutions. A cold, gray palette stripped away comfort and created a setting that felt both public and isolating—pressing the political against private despair.
By keeping the design minimal, the focus stayed on action and the questions the play demands. Without ornamentation, the stage invited a meditative rhythm with a sharp edge of confrontation. The audience couldn’t escape the weight of Kat’s decision, nor the personal and political cost it carried.
The scenic world became more than backdrop: the stone circle, textures of decay, and empty expanse together embodied sacrifice and resilience—holding tension between the human and the political long after the final scene.
