Has anyone staged "Rebecca" by Daphne DuMaurier? I would be most interested in seeing a sketch of your set. The staging in the script is very vague and I can't seem to figure out doors and windows placement. Our company rents space as needed - we've used several different venues - so size of the stage can vary. I'm playing with 12x24 right now.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Laurielu

Thanks for the tip, neil. I looked at the long video (leave it to the Germans to make a musical out of this one!). Their set is beautiful, however I only have 12x24 to work with!
