The brief required finding a sensitive medium between displaying the tonal gravity of this tragedy while not giving away the plot of the play, or warding people off with a downbeat image.

Final poster, and draft designs
Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, Enwrought with golden and silver light, The blue and the dim and the dark cloth Of night and light and the half-light, I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven by W.B. Yeats, 1899
