An Inspector Calls
In An Inspector Calls, I sought to create a setting that captures the play’s dark and mysterious atmosphere, reflecting its exploration of guilt and social responsibility. Drawing on Gothic architectural elements, the set features tall, imposing windows that allow for striking silhouette scenes, heightening the play’s dramatic tension. A red-and-black checker floor, rendered in forced perspective, emphasizes the characters’ psychological complexity, drawing the audience into a world where moral ambiguity and hidden secrets unfold under the Inspector’s scrutiny. This design underscores the story’s focus on ethical accountability and societal interconnectedness.
