October Workshop: Set Design

At Reading Rep Theatre, Reading · 1 performance from Wed 28 Oct to Wed 28 Oct.

Ages: 11–16 Time: 1:00pm – 3:30pm Price: £25 per session Step into the shadows and learn how to design fear itself. In this atmospheric workshop, you’ll explore how Dracula uses space, light, and texture to create spine-tingling tension on stage. Use Gothic elements to create setting and mood: produce a gloomy, decaying Carpathian castle, an atmosphere of dread, and supernatural menace. You’ll sketch and build your own miniature set inspired by castles: think flickering lanterns, warped staircases, and secrets hidden. No experience needed — just imagination and a taste for the gothic.
