This project was a speculative design project for a new musical, which will be held at the Theatre Royal in Nottingham. The show is called 'Jingah!' and it was created by Chloe Charody and Duncan Townsend. The plot of the story is about a fictional race called the Tchaks who live in the underground world of Tchakland and are ruled by Remlin. His daughter Rosie, wants to see the outside world of Jingah Island, and she goes on an adventure meeting different creatures and learning how the Tchaks are destroying the outside world through the disposal of their rubbish out of Tchakland through a pipe onto the Island. This story combines fiction with the very relevant issues of global warming, climate change, the environment and family in a show for the whole family!

My final set design was inspired by the sets from the musical Hamilton and a production of The Railway Children at The National Railway Museum in York, in 2015, which I was able to see. It was centred around a doughnut revolve stage, with a middle section that could rise and fall and behind that a two staircases joined by a platform, which was stationary during the performance. Above the stage hung by wires to the bars is a piece of fabric representing a mountain. At the end of the show, the fabric falls to represent the mountain falling.
