Lighting the Starling Theatre

The Starling Theatre opens its new play on Saturday, and the stage crew must move fast in the dark behind the scenes. Every backstage corner must be lit, but a lantern may never shine straight at another — the glare spoils the dark of the stage. The numbered walls from the old plan remain. Set the lanterns before the dress rehearsal.
