THE GREAT WAVE by Francis Turnly | BERKELEY REPERTORY THEATRE, CA

DIRECTOR: Mark Wing-Davey

SET: Chika Shimizu | PROJECTION: Tara Knight | LIGHTING: Lap Chi Chu | COSTUME: Meg Neville | SOUND: Bray Poor

“The impressive scenic design of Chika Shimizu with an elevator stage element moving up-and-down to change settings and scenes allows parallel, sometimes over-lapping scenes between the two countries and between the ever-present sea and the confinements of North Korean rooms of interrogation and/or instruction. Contrasting home settings of the two locations move seamlessly in and out while the costumes of Meg Neville bring the harsh contrasts of two cultures, economies, and political systems into our reality.“ (Theatre Eddys)
