The World of a Language - November 23, 2010 

Why 'The Language Archive' needs an abstract, metaphorical set

"Take Neil Patel's set design: It's visible from the moment we enter the theatre, and it instantly tells us we're in a metaphorical space. Behind a heavy wooden table, rows of polished-wood shelves tower to the top of the proscenium, and they're bursting with things. There are tapes and recording devices like you might expect to see in a language archive, but there are also microscopes, globes, lanterns, and statues. They suggest the collected memories of the cultures George preserves." - TDF(Theatre Development Fund).org
