Live Design's fifth annual 31 Days Of Plots features one production per day during the month of December 2022, highlighting a different lighting design, from across theatre, concert tours, corporate events, live for broadcast, and more, as we wind down 2022 and head toward the new year.
In March 2022, LD Michael Gottlieb designed the lighting for Eugene O’Neill’s A Touch of the Poet at the Irish Rep. "The set was very challenging, with a low-beamed ceiling, so we needed to drop a grid from the house grid to make our throws but keep the lights invisible to the audience," he explains. "The second act of the show takes place entirely in candlelight, so it was primarily lit using Birdies mounted around the set, corresponding to the locations of candles. For this design, I was honored to be nominated for a Henry Hewes Design Award."
