No Place Like Home

Here’s another doubling involving Days of Wine and Roses’ angular-roof set:

It basically recreated the native architecture of the production’s original home at the Atlantic Theater Company’s Linda Gross Theater, and it’s not the sole transfer this season to replicate the permanent architecture of where a production premiered; The Hunt began at the Almeida, and Es Devlin’s set design for the play’s run at St. Ann’s Warehouse was backed by the Almeida’s red-brick curvature.

As I always say: every detail of a theater, even its bedrock architecture, is a meaningful part of a production.
