Avion Players

posters

Appropriate is tricky to market. On broadway it’s billed as a “Family Dramady”. It’s a racous, dark comedy played by distinctly unlovable characters. You will leave the theatre so glad that it’s over and looking forward to doing it again. It has a high rate of return patrons. The Avion Players performed this production for one show only during the provincial Drama Festival. Avoiding spoilers while capturing the setting was my objective.

Appropriate explores the resistance our minds have againts painful truths. When people think about what they thought about this poster they may think about they didn’t think about. Hopefully, in the future they think about not thinking and think even harder.

You know what I mean?

Claude House asked me to design this poster for his production of Brazil Square. His one request was that it feature a classic St. John’s doorway.

The play questions where Mrs. Kent’s boarding house ends and she begins. Hence the female figure looking like door hardware. Even out in the world she feels like a piece of her boarding house. Each act takes place in a different decade. They are represented by the radiating textile patterns. “The boarding house reach” is a tangled choreography of characters handing things to each other that punctuates the production. Every little detail is here for a reason and I’m quite happy with it.
