On entering Jermyn Street Theatre’s small but perfectly formed cavernous environs for their latest opener OUTLYING ISLANDS, one is instantly enveloped by the muted sepia tones of a harsh and unforgiving coastal backdrop. Lightly sketched seabirds carouse the skies before a gigantic rocky outcrop, as torrents of spray rise from the turbulent waters below. Best of all, Anna Lewis’ design deploys a hand painted cyc, with not a projection in sight.
