*'You see, stage should place, where happen. The I think the be a magic anything can stage isn't a good medium. for reality anyway. It isn't the right place to do a documentary, for example." "You .have to keep yourself open to new ideas all the time if you're designing. You have to avoid just mak- ing the stage pretty. Your design should make the essence of the play visible." "What sets and costumes should do is to pull the audience into the play. I like using interesting textures on stage that are appealing to the senses. Tactile responses can bypass the mental process, and the audience can just 'feel' what the play's about.'*
