UK premiere of Neil LaButes exclusive collection of savage short plays offering a uniquely skewed view of life and relationships in the modern world.
The first two chapters played at King’s Head Theatre, before transferring to Greenwich Theatre. The set was designed as a brutalist deconstruction of the American flag.
AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL
SET & COSTUME DESIGN
DIRECTOR: James Haddrell
SET & COSTUME DESIGN: Jana Lakatos
LIGHTING DESIGN: Henry Slater
"Jana Lakatos' modular set perfectly serves to illustrate this very changeable and identifiably fluid America, along with a color scheme that appears to be a distressed and partially bullet ridden and smudgily painted American flag, perfectly conveying
the opaqueness of national identity we find ourselves in in 2026"
(P. Lawler - The American)
"This backwall is overrun by gunshots with the holes from the bullets evoking the spirit of the stars on the American Flag. This quiet but powerful statement.. really captures the essence of what the play is trying to be wordlessly. "
(Oviya Thirumalai - Adventures in Theatreland)
