Conall Morrison adapted this classic to a contemporary Middle Eastern setting. I designed a rich, multi-leveled space with numerous movement possibilities, fabrics, nooks, and hiding places. The set included stairs that connected the audience to the stage space, creating an immersive environment. The design featured vibrant colors in collaboration with costume designer Sinead Cuthbert.
