Preparation for the Autumn Term and discussions with the Production Manager.

I am currently deciding on measurements for the benches and cases which are going to be situated at the ends of the table. I've had discussions with the production manager and am trying to get an idea of how to realise my design and the importance of accurate measurements not only for the finished product but to save on material costs. The cases are now going to be chests which will allow more room for costume changes or "pilgrims' luggage". They are going from 200mm in height to 450mm to match the height of the benches. This also allows the actors a "step up" to the table and will add to the physical theatre aspect of the play.  To help with the interpretation and building of these items I am going to do some detailed sketches. I have received a new seating plan and am very excited about viewing it when it is up and ready. Below is an aerial picture of how it will look.

All the benches are now going to be 300mm in width to make them easier for the actors to carry and work with. The wooden floor is going to be painted as this will save money and also because it saves another step on to the stage for the actors.
