The bare stage â David Fleischerâs design â could be a beach with sea stretching out to the horizon. Damien Cooperâs lighting ranges from summer glare to the blood-red horror of Australiaâs 2019-2020 bushfires, with the performers often silhouetted as we saw people fleeing the cataclysm on TV. A shower of glitter could suggest coronavirus droplets.
