The set, by the Sisters Hayes (who also did costumes), is a slick construction of angular wood and steel that enhances, enables and extends the humour, complete with hole-in-the-wall cafe and a roll-away bed. It packs Melbourne in a nutshell…

Walking into the Bigness

By Richard Frankland
Malthouse Theatre
August 2014

ROLE

Set & Costume Design
(as the Sisters Hayes)


The set, by collaborative design team The Sisters Hayes, is a brilliant outback playground. From the busted-up station wagon perched on a roof, to its dirt mound-laden edges, it pulls off the incredible feat of making the towering Merlyn Theatre actually feel like the outdoors…

SET & COSTUME DESIGN

Blood Wedding

By Federico García Lorca
Malthouse Theatre
July 21- August 19, 2012

ROLE

Set & Costume Design
(as the Sisters Hayes)


The Sisters Hayes create the tone by bringing the languages and experiences together with a design that manages to be kitschly fun and dramatically epic. It somehow evokes the closeness of backyard urban Australia and the empty distance of rural Spain…
