Mind Games

(November 2013)

Mind Games is a play written by George Gunby imagining the scenario's that might occur within the mind of an assassin. To be precise, the unlikely assassin of John Lennon, Mark Chapman. The play imagined conversations that would have taken place between John Lennon and Mark Chapman post assassination, along with the taunting provided by the voices in his head.

This was a small production and actually produced in a small 'Studio' space which was created from a victorian school classroom. In terms of lighting I went with the approach of showing that most of the narrative was playing out in his head, this was easy to do by playing with saturated colours and a lot of side lighting. The small studio space was limiting in terms of space however was still very much achievable! This is to date still one of my favourite shows, I am confident that the quality of my work is matched with some of the work I produce on a much larger scale today.

Hopefully, Mind Games will return!
