·        Sparkle Shark: A 2 storey house cut though so that it looked as if a bomb had hit it, but built strong enough so actors could still use what was left of the floors;

 

·        Jesus Christ Superstar: Multi-level set constructed with a steel frame, ladders, etc to give a modern feel to this musical. It also included 13 foot high flats for the wings, painted to look like roman pillars, and pedestals with poles for performers, and a hydraulically operated cross to raise Jesus.
