BURFORD SCHOOL
· Les Miserables: A spectacular set with the baracades that started off in 2 pieces looking like Paris houses - folded and linked together to form the barricades that moved around the stage;
· Sparkle Shark: A 2 storey house cut though so that it looked as if a bomb had hit it, but built strong enough so actors could still use what was left of the floors;
· Jesus Christ Superstar: Multi-level set constructed with a steel frame, ladders, etc to give a modern feel to this musical. It also included 13 foot high flats for the wings, painted to look like roman pillars, and pedestals with poles for performers, and a hydraulically operated cross to raise Jesus.
ACTING COMMUNITY: THINGUMYBOGS
