THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON
By Jethro Compton and Darren Clark
Costume Designer and Associate Set Designer
Ambassadors Theatre 2024
The moon, and its pull upon the sea, is a repeated motif in the text and in the gorgeously ramshackle set, simultaneously abstract and literal, of fishing nets, staircases, trapdoors, hanging orbs, twinkling lights and good honest wood, created by Compton with Anna Kelsey (who also designed the earthily attractive costumes).
