Stage Designs For The Norman Conquests

These two designs show the

layout for Living Together (left)

and Table Manners (right) for

Alan Ayckbourn's 1993 revival

of The Norman Conquests at

the Stephen Joseph Theatre

In The Round. Unfortunately

no design for Round And Round

The Garden survives.

The designs are for the round -

the space for which The Norman

Conquests was originally

conceived for and originally

directed in by Alan Ayckbourn.

These three designs are taken

from the Samuel French acting

editions of The Norman

Conquests and show designs

for end-stage / proscenium arch

based on the 1974 London

production of the trilogy.

Living Together (left); Table

Manners (right) and Round And

Round The Garden (below left)

are  pictured based on Alan

Pickford's designs for the

Greenwich Theatre production,

directed by Eric Thompson,

which transferred to the Globe

Theatre.
