Set Design | Barry Kay |
Costumes | Barry Kay [?] |
Company | Union Theatre Repertory Company (now Melbourne Theatre Company) [?] |
Venue | Union Theatre, Melbourne University [?]1Shown above is a black & white photograph of a brush drawing. The original (whereabouts unknown) is signed by Barry Kay and dated 1956. The photograph's verso stamp reads: 'Visual Aids Department, University of Melbourne.' Without further information, it remains unclear if the design was a study project or intended for a staging by the Union Theatre Repertory Company (unlikely, considering the fifty elephants). It is also not known whether Kay's untitled depiction is based on the Balanchine-Stravinsky ballet from 1942. See also here. |
