Grand Horizons is a stage play presented by PIP Theatre, for which I worked as co-set designer alongside Genevieve Morrow Ganner.
The design was shaped by Bess Wohl’s image of the play being “contained in a box” — a house that becomes both literal setting and metaphor. Through script analysis and discussion, we developed the concept of marriage as purgatory: a liminal domestic space caught between comfort and confinement, where life feels suspended between one stage and the next.
The set was designed as the suggestion of a box that is also a house. A restrained palette and carefully considered furnishings create an interior that feels both inviting and uneasy — static, contained, and slightly out of reach. This is Bill and Nancy’s box.
