The Bone Wars

"The Bone Wars" tells the story of Edward Drinker Cope and O.C. Marsh, two paleontologists from the late 1800's. Their competitive nature towards each other leads to their downfall, and the story of their lives is told by two modern day museum guides, Suzie and Eddie. The museum guides morph into characters from Cope and Marsh's lives, and slowly become more and more involved with their lives, also appearing more victorian as the show goes on. Their silk neck-ties we see them in serve as both their museum uniforms, and their cravats later on in the show.

This production of "The Bone Wars" is a two week workshop where the designers had two weeks to design and execute this new play with the playwrite. All of the designers shared a small budget and limited shop hours.
