Shadow Factory
- Artwork
From playwright Howard Brenton, Shadow Factory recounts Southampton’s crucial role in WW2 at the moment when all seemed lost.
59 Productions worked with Nuffield Southampton Theatres to design the set, lighting, projections and costumes that bring this story to life.
It was the inaugural production at Southampton’s brand new theatre, NST City.
My Involvement
Working for 59 Productions, I created a large selection of still images that were projected on the concrete floor of the stage. These stills were designed to be visually succinct in establishing setting, time and mood.

Selected Press
“Nano winches create a balletic display of undulating neon tubes above the stage… 59 Productions’ slick video projections superimpose moving, zooming aerial maps onto the thrust stage’s vast slab of concrete, constantly re-framing daily lives as strategic targets.”
The Stage
“The cast play out on a stage which has projected images on it… There is so much going on here which is absolutely commendable.”
Saturday Review, BBC Radio 4
