Concept

​

My Design for A Tale of Two Cities is all about duality which is a key concept in this play. Cities London and Paris are shown on stage in a split screen layout as the prominent story takes you on a journey to both co-existing worlds.

There is also the duality of two times 1789 (the start of the French Revolution) and 1859 (the date when Dickens released this novel) in this design.
