Punchdrunk
"The Burnt City" - Set Dresser
Theatre
2022
While set dressing for Punchdrunk, I learnt the value of working thoroughly while working to a deadline. We worked to daily deadlines on our tasks, which meant that we had to work efficiency. Whether that’s breaking down crates and barrels to add to the atmosphere of a post-apocalyptic landscape, making props or putting up hundreds of posters, we would work quickly and to a high standard.
Here are some reviews of the production:
