‘I don’t know anyone who’s ever had the opportunity to make a work of this scale in this country,’ said set designer Marg Horwell of her role in Malthouse Theatre’s ambitious new work, Because The Night.
The familiar spaces of the Malthouse’s Merlyn and Beckett Theatres have been subdivided and transformed for the production, which also connects the two theatres via new, purpose-build corridors outside the building. It’s a large-scale, temporary redevelopment of the building that’s sure to bewilder and disorient visitors, even those who think they know the Malthouse well.
