Chairs in Heaven

Where do angels sit? Set designer Narelle Sissons was responsible for answering that question for Angels in America, and what she came up with is pretty cool.

Narelle's research for this piece began with the idea of a winged chair...


...which became more specific with a detailed look for the wings...


...then the final piece was crafted by our (incredibly talented) props artisans...


...and it looks great!


Here is another of the chairs on stage during one of the final scenes of the play. Where are they, you ask? I guess you'll just have to come see Part 2 to find out!
