SELECTED SET DESIGNS BY DARRYL CLEMENT

Darryl consistently produces exciting, innovative and fun scenic designs for Theatre Britain shows. His painting is exquisite and detailed. His most recent design (for Puss In Boots) featured an outsize storybook. Gasps were heard in the audience each night as the audience realized the book was not static, but that the large pages turned to reveal different locations. And, each year in our holiday panto, a new and magical world is revealed in blacklight, painted by Darryl. Theatre Britain has been so very fortunate to benefit from Darryl’s talent, his imagination and his commitment to excellence.

REALISTIC DESIGNS
Hay Fever
An English country house reproduced in period detail. Several audience members found it necessary to inspect the (painted) floorboards.
No Sex, Please - We're British
A 1970s apartment over a bank branch with dirt painted onto light switches and banisters to complete the lived in feel.
THE WOW FACTOR
Little Red Riding Hood
The audience entered the forest as they walked into the theatre. The forest lit up at night under the blacklight.
Puss In Boots
The storybook facilitated quick scene changes and produced a surprised and delighted reaction from audience when the first page turned and again when the door opened in the back cover.
The Day After The Fair
A floating disk suspended from golden poles evoked both the carousel at the center of this play and the cage in which the main character found herself.
SUPPORTING THE PRODUCTION'S CONCEPT
Macbeth
A severe design reflected the Scottish landscape and the drama in this classic while the padded floor allowed for breathtaking fighting. Boxes opened to reveal a cauldron and campfire.
Betrayal
The fractured and strangely angled backdrop complemented the broken relationships at the heart of this Pinter play.
