 | The centrepiece of a major exhibition at the new Globe Theatre in London is a huge oak
tree cast from a real tree with a dappled light effect simulating daylight spilling through
its branches. This lighting together with other special effects was supplied by The Light
Projects Group.
By using a selection of their own lighting fittings including Toucan 2, Birdie B, Explorer 1,
downlighters and specially made Graphic Stick, Light Projects created a versatile and
effective lighting scheme for this emotive and “magical” exhibition which doubles up as
corporate entertainment venue. In addition, Light Projects have also used VoltManager
transformers to control the lighting and ensure ease of use and adaptability.
The “All the World’s A Stage” exhibition, designed by twickenham-based exhibition
designers rwdp (formelery Robin Wade & ptnrs). in the “Underglobe” of the theatre,
aims to recreate Shakespeare’s world and to put the whole Globe in its historical context.
The exhibition comprises different static showcases, multimedia and interactive displays to
give visitors an idea of what the theatre was like in Shakespeare’s time. |
