Creative Director, Marcus Stamps, met up with the Production Director, Sarah Frankcom, to discuss location details, tone, mood, style and feel. All were factors that helped determine the creative route every1 would take to deliver concepts for the poster and promotional material.

The production is set in 1950s America, in an Italian-American neighbourhood near the Brooklyn Bridge in New York. It has striking similarities with Greek tragedy.

The main character in the story is Eddie Carbone, an Italian-American longshoreman, who lives with his wife, Beatrice, and his orphaned niece, Catherine. They live in an insular, self-ruled neighbourhood known as a polis. As the play begins, Eddie is protective and kind toward Catherine, although his feelings grow into something more than avuncular as the play develops. His attachment to her is brought into perspective by the arrival from Italy of Beatrice's two cousins, Marco and Rodolpho. They have entered the country illegally, hoping to leave behind hunger and unemployment for a better life in America. Whereas Marco is a physically strong man with a starving family back home, charming Rodolpho is young, good-looking, blonde, and single, and he sings and dances; Catherine instantly falls for him…..

Many bridges were crossed, eventually leading to a composition that focused on the raw and industrial texture of the bridge, a dominant figure of the New York skyline. The creative soundly portrayed the progressive mood of this gritty production.

As for the ending, we guess you'll just have to watch the production, it runs from 18th May to the 25th June.
