The Stage

A dark stage, with a black glossy surface. Front right is a woman in a grey shirt and dark grey trousers, gesticulating with her right arm. Behind her, to the left, is a young woman on a swing, wearing a light grey dress. To her left is a puff of grey/white smoke. Centre back is a young man in a grey sleeveless top and grey trousers in a balletic pose. To the right of the image is a black metal staircase. Behind this red neon letters spell out Red Hook.

Three men, in grey trousers, grey shirts and black boots, lean over a black metal railing. The man on the left is speaking to the other two and gesticulating with his left hand; the other two are looking at him and smiling. Behind them is a row of wooden fold up seats, and a reddish brown wooden backdrop.

WhatsOnStage

  • A couple - a woman in a light grey dress with dark hair, and a blonde man in a grey shirt and grey trousers - are holding each other and looking into each others eyes. They're standing on a glossy black stage with a black backdrop behind them with red neon letters which are reflected in the stage (you can clearly see the letter E - the other letters are only partially visible).
  • An reddish brown backdrop with a black metal staircase platform with stairs in front. To the left a man in a grey shirt and trousers leans over the railings, looking to the left. His dark shadow looms large on the backdrop behind.
  • A man in a grey shirt and trousers stands centre stage holding a chair aloft in his left hand. Behind him, to the left, are a couple (a woman in a grey dress with dark hair, and a blonde man in a grey shirt and grey trousers) holding each other and looking at him. At the back of the stage is a black platform with metal railings; a woman stands in the centre looking down. Bottom right you can see some red neon letters spelling out Red Hook.
