SCENERY PAINTING FOR THE AMATEUR MUSICAL THEATRE and PANTOMIME
ALADDIN Ulster page three
Designed and painted by Brian Willis. Sets built by Colin Hompstead.
Performed by the Ulster Operatic Company (1972)

The Finale Walk Down A very simple (and quick to erect) set of wings and a couple of flats and an arch at the back. I diminished the sizes of the shapes on the wings the further up stage they went to force the perspective. This worked as the cast only came through the centre arch.

I wonder what that strange black shape is at the bottom of the back arch? Might be a cable.
