To begin with, I want the audience to feel part of the action, he says. To do this the set has been designed so that members of the audience must walk right through it to their seats. BECAUSE of the close contact of full arena theater that is having the stage surrounded on all four sides even small by the audience details must be authentic, he says. For example, the play is British so money used in the production must be British, and because one of the characters is a tennis champion, tennis trophies engraved with his name must be used. And, because of the cir- cular seating, great pains must be taken in blocking the production so that the audience can always see a characters face, be in actual contact with the action, Phillips explains. SINCE theater patrons must walk directly through the set to their seats, it is vitally important they be on time for the performance.
