I storyboarded and constructed the frame (with a lot of help from Ray Vlcek – thanks Ray!) for the scroll puppet prologue for ‘Iron Bridal Feast.’ The artwork is by Isabel Gold and Lauren Wright. The scroll is an illustrated summary of the House of Tantalus. The chorus used the scroll in conjunction with their dumb-show performance.
