Burning Wilton Diptych
This particular painting known as the Wilton Diptych was chosen by the director Alistair Newton due to the religious and royal imagery and significance. This painting is said to represent kingship as it relates to being a leader appointed by g-d. Throughout the play, Edward II can be seen playing this pivotal role but his son Edward III does not follow suit. In a pivotal part of the play as Edward III is being anointed, the character of Lightborne lights a match and throws it upstage causing the painting to burn.
As projection designer for the show, I created this visual effect to make the match fly on screen and to ignite the painting.

The Death of Edward II
Edward II is betrayed by what he thought were his own friends. As he finds himself exiled and imprisoned he is confronted and killed. When it came time for this scene in the play, the cameras cut away from the stage and the action transitioned to this scene. The video itself is silent, and the music and fx were played live in the theatre.
This scene was Directed by Alistair Newton
Fight Choreography by Siobhan Richardson
Lighting Design by Allison Kinahan

Closing Credits Edward II
Red Roses are the royal flower of England. In this play, Edward III corrupts the essence of kingship and therefore this rose burns as a sign that he doesn't display the right character traits of a king.
