I Hate Hamlet images
The action of the play takes place in a New York penthouse apartment whose last occupant, some 50 or 60 years earlier, was John Barrymore, who had good bones and something of a success in the theater. (His granddaughter Drew may have inherited the bones but is saving them for when she has worked her way up to character roles. Grump, grump.) Andrew Rally, a soap headliner, moves to the city after getting a gig as the Melancholy Dane in a Shakespeare in the Park production.
To begin building, we erected this showy stairway. At the top will be a door giving onto the roof of the apartment building. The room at deck level will have a couple of other doors, a fireplace and so on. It will be a big job getting this thing built, but as always I live in hope.
(Ordinarily I wouldn't focus so much on one piece, but these images are serving double duty: showing you, and demonstrating the scale of the piece in support of some final stages in the design process.)
Another page in this series will update the stairway.
