A dear old friend of mine introduced me at a production meeting as "That Famous Polish Lighting Designer" and we all chuckled. During the production the crew gave me a pen/desk set with the engraving TFPLD. As the internet came into popular culture i needed an email addy. I tried 4 different names and on my last chance i looked at my pen/desk set and said of course "TFPLD"

"A Child's Guide to Heresy" for THE REP 2011

This was a world premiere of an adaptation of a novel of the same name.  The writer did the adaptation.  It is a very interesting story but the play needs more work for the adaptation to succeed like the novel.  It is at times epic in size and story.  These shots are from a dress rehearsal where some of the equipment was in failure.  Any new play is a challenge but a story of this size, proportion, and needs was particularly challenging.  The entire design team did receive a lot of critical praise of which i was very grateful.
