Illustration. Set Design. The Pillowman

I was asked to design and create a collection of shadow puppets to narrate a story within a production of the Pillowman (An Oxford University student production). I also designed and sourced the screen (used in the puppet scene and as part of the set for the rest of the play) and worked with the director of the production to direct the scene.

"Eve Finnie’s beautifully crafted fairy-tale puppets perfectly strike the balance on which the stories within the plot hinge" Preview The Oxford Student

Illustrations for the puppets.

"a vast white covering, part wall, part screen is transformed, as Eve Finnie’s remarkably designed puppets play out Katurian’s words. Suddenly the directors’ vision comes alive as a story both real and imagined plays out before us." Preview Cherwell
