The Corn Exchange’s Nora at The Project
Art’s Centre Theatre, Dublin Theatre Festival 2017
On Wednesday 27th
September last I had the good fortune to meet Scenographer Paul O’Mahony before
a preview of The Corn Exchange production of Nora. He was (as can be expected) a bit anxious but content about
the set he had designed for this full on, edgy and gripping new work by author
Belinda McKeon. The story being set in 2015 allows Paul O’Mahony’s imaginative,
clean edged, minimalist and opulent set to be slightly futuristic
This is a feisty, robustly performed production. Inspired by Henric
Ibsen’s “A Dolls House” , author Belinda McKeon in collaboration with Annie
Ryan and directed by Eoghan Carrick Nora
is a very entertaining,
edgy, fresh and thought provoking Production.
The performance space is presented in an apt and visually satisfying set designed by scenographer Paul
O’Mahony. I collaboration with Lighting Designer, Sara Jane Shiels, O’Mahony
provides the performers and indeed the audience with an ambient appropriate and appealing design solution, a
setting that provides a focused and defined performance space for the actors
and the characters they portray.
The
production was directed by Eoghan Carrick, Scenography (Set Design) by Paul
O’Mahony, Costumes Designed by Katie Crowley, Lighting Design by Sara Jane
Shiels, Sound Design Philip Stewart
