A very informative and interesting article on the use of technology for onstage sets. I enjoyed watching the innovation in THE WOMAN IN WHITE and I thought it moved the plot along( and its myriad details) quite effectively.

A future London production of SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE is thinking of using the same concept.

"The Menier Chocolate Factory, a London company, is using video for Stephen Sondheim's "Sunday in the Park With George," which begins on Friday. The production will make the Georges Seurat painting at the heart of the show - "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" - come alive by integrating the actors with moving images of trees, dogs, water, boats and other objects from the painting, which will be projected onto drapes, doors and other set pieces...."

Wave of the future?

I'd say so.
