The play 'ROMEO, JULIET AND SECURITY GUARD', Directed by Jane Collins, is a site specific work, performed throughout the open space of S.N.School of Arts and Communication. Over a period of time, by regular discussion with the Scenographer and the inputs from the Director, we decided to elevate some places with different kinds of lighting. The basic design of the audience path was lighten by the halogen lamps. Some areas like the murder scene inside the bathrooms were made a mysterious place through the blue filtered tube lights. The marriage party scene was highlighted through the series of the bulbs with the twinkling switcher. We also used 'mashal' (oil lamps) to energize the space.

The chasing scene was designed with different structures made of bambo sticks and lightened by the 200 watts bulbs connected in a series. An intimate space was designed in the candle light, (as shown in the above picture) wherein, a discussion regarding marriage was performed by Juliet and her mother.
