I find the thick black proscenium at the Playhouse really intrusive.
My plan for this production is to cover it up. DSR will be a large tree whose branches reach across the arch itself, while DSL this token of nature will be balanced by a large classical column. These are rather blatant symbols of themes within the play and the designer is going to try and persuade me to more subtlety on the column front...but the tree, at least, I think will work and its sheer scale will really emphasize the size of the children.
These items will help break up the otherwise bare set and give some physical colour to what is otherwise entirely generated by lighting.
