I used texture and angle in the lighting to differentiate between the two psychological worlds. Jekyll's world was lit with straight angled front light, downlight, and backlight. Hyde's world was lit with low and side angles. They both shared two hiside systems of 38 sharply focused patterns in R78465 Abstract Truss, one warm (232 Super White Flame Green to Tungsten) and one cool (728 Steel Green). These patterns look like steel beams, haphazardly thrown about the stage. The sense of other industrial architecture above the world of the play is arresting and sinister. Painting the proscenium surround were 12 more Rosco gobos, six in R77440 Saigon Roofs 1 and six in R77441 Saigon Roofs 2. The etched texture of the gobos echoed the paint treatment of the floor, which was inspired by 19th century etchings of London waterfronts.
