Pre-casting character sketches

Alcohol consumption is a key feature of the play, with numerous cans being opened and drunk on stage throughout the duration of the piece. An enjoyable design challenge was to create convincing lager cans for an audience with close proximity to the actors. Below is a copy of a vinyl sticker design which was attached to cans of fizzy water in order to achieve the carbonated opening sound.
