The head of Phase I is composed en tirely out of upholstery foam. For the first phase, they are all in small amount, less than one sheet of foam and a few feet of the other materials with yardage. Pardon that I cannot list specific volumes of each, as I was buying bulk amounts for multiple forms of Audrey II, I don't have much by way of estimate for each. * The company I was purchasing fabric from changed their stock of this color partway through my build, and the name seems to have changed from 'Apple Green' to 'Kelly Green'.

My designs and notes reflect the needs of the production and my beginning considerations of what will be needed to accomplish them. She has the lobed leaves of a jungle plant, and the bright colors of various odd plants and birds, as well as white speckling and highlights to give the impression of more shine than the materials allow. The first form is toothless, and looks somewhat smiling and innocent. She also grows progressively more and more teeth. With these considerations in mind, I began my design process, eventually settling on a variation the traditional fly-trap design with a few touches I thought would make it appealing:Īudrey II develops more color throughout the production, as well as bumps, veins, protuberances and spikes. Often productions will want to build the conceit that Audrey is immobile until she comes to life to express interest in drinking Seymour’s blood. These sound like quite simple actions in theory, but the last is a special consideration that requires the small hand-held puppet can be placed on a scenic element which has a hidden puppeteer who can then manipulate Audrey II. Respond to action on stage as a functional hand-puppet Audrey Phase I must:īe able to be held, picked up, and carried by Seymour For Phase 1 there are several script called-for requirements. Of course, each form has specific requirements of motion and presentation that need to be adhered to before aesthetics can be considered.
Audrey II is a fantastic creature being a man-eating plant from outer space that grows throughout the production and dances and sings in her largest forms.
