My diploma work is the staging for the play The Murder at the Vicarage at the Pori Theatre. The play is based on the novel of the same name by Agatha Christie, and it is staged in late 1940s England. The whole play takes place in the vicar’s study. As the set designer, I had to create a space that does not change during the entire three-hour performance. The space represents many things. It suggests the decade, but at the same time appears, with its threadbare look and style, to have served many other vicars in the past. The play was directed by Reino Bragge, and costumes were designed by Maarit Kalmakurki. The premiere was in February 2006.
