From the (first-time) director Kathryn:
Part of the difficulty in designing for our stage is the dimensions. Our stage is very wide but shallow with a relatively low ceiling. Most of our flats, as for this set, measure 8 feet high. As you can see in the photo above, the ceiling is another 5-8 feet above the top of the flats, but we are constrained by beams in the ceiling, the curtains and the lights. The platform we designed for this play is approximately 30-35 feet wide. We kept the platform at 4-5" high because of the height of the flats. Fairy May in the first Act needs to stand on a stool to reach a book on a very high shelf (not pictured), if we had made the platform much higher, we would have lost Fairy in the ceiling.
