Dear All,

 

I am involved with a local theatre in the production of a play which takes
place in 1613 in the herb garden of a doctor in Stratford on Avon.  I am
suggesting to the producer and set designer that a sundial may be a good
idea either on the house wall or on a pedestal in the garden.  But before I
get too deep into ideas, could you please confirm that this is  correct and
what sort of sundial would a country doctor who is not very wealthy have?

 

If a dial is on the house wall, I would like to suggest that, if the
lighting can be arranged, for the shadow to move to show the passing of the
day from one scene to another.  Does anyone know if this has been done on
stage before?

 

The production is not until June, but we have just started the designs and
rehearsals.

 

With best wishes,

Jackie
