Doctor Faustus Set Designer Inspired by Once-Devastated Modern Theatre
The sparkling new stage of the Modern
Theatre went retro, becoming a beaten-up
wreck once more for the student
production of Christopher Marlowe‟s
Doctor Faustus staged in mid-November.
Award-winning set designer Richard
Chambers, a member of the Theatre
Department faculty, drew his inspiration
in part from visits he had made to the
interior of the derelict Modern Theatre
before it was razed and transformed into
a new showplace with a restored façade.
As his colleagues met to plan the
production, Chambers was drawn to
photographs of abandoned buildings that
Director David Gammons, who has
joined the faculty as a guest lecturer this
year, brought to the table.
“I liked the look; it reflects the
corruption of the soul,” a major theme of
the Faustian legend of a demented genius
who strikes a terrifying bargain with the
devil,” said Chambers.
Before the University replaced the
ruin of the Modern Theatre, the caved-in
roof had been left open to the elements
for decades, and the interior was rotted
beyond repair.
“I remember going in and being
captivated,” said Chambers of the onceglamorous derelict. “It was lit with work
lights … you could hear dripping water
and the sounds of pigeon wings."
Chambers incorporated peeling
paint, plaster oozing through lathe, and a
hole-pocked floor into the Doctor Faustus
set to bring home the sense of the title
character‟s humanity being stripped away
through the wiles of Mephistopheles.
The lighting and sound effects also
highlighted the wreckage that serves as a
metaphor for the depths to which Doctor Faustus sinks.
Chambers, who has designed more than 150 productions in the Northeast, is the recipient of two Elliot Norton
Awards and three Independent Reviewers of New England awards.

NE School of Art & Design Boasts ‘Most-Admired Educator’ and No. 3 Ranking
“Top 10” Interior Design programs in the nation,” said Bill Davis, chairman of the University‟s
art and design school. “Last year was the first time we made the “Top 10” list, but we knew that it
would not be the last. In fact, we moved from the fifth position to the third position at both the
graduate and undergraduate levels. We are working hard to make number one in the near future.”
The magazine cited both the undergraduate and graduate interior design programs as among the
“Top 10” best at preparing graduates for success in the interior design profession. The design school
rose from fifth place on the list in 2011.
In honoring Clarke DesignIntelligence, a bimonthly report from the Design Futures Council,
followed an annual tradition of recognizing excellence in education and education administration by
naming 25 exemplary professionals in these fields.
Thousands of design professionals, academic department heads and students advised the
DesignIntelligence staff as it selected the 2012 class of role models from the disciplines of architecture,
industrial design, interior design and landscape architecture.
