PRESS: Women or Nothing

RMS had the distinct pleasure of building the set for world-premiere of Ethan Coen's first full-length play, "Women or Nothing," at the Atlantic Theater. The comedy takes place in the "enviably chic New York apartment" of characters Gretchen and Laura. RMS took care of the structure, including the two windows at the back of the apartment which looked over a wide rainy street.

PRESS: Burns at Playwrights Horizons

RMS built the set for “Mr. Burns, a Post-Electric Play”, a work written by Anne Washburn, which the New York Times called "downright brilliant".

 

We created a ship's cabin out of wood and steel--so it could roll off stage and fold up for storage.

 

For the entrance to a nuclear power plant, we made six-inch double-faced acrylic plexi blocks. Rather than buy plastic or glass tiles, the RMS team ripped sheets of acrylic into squares and carved tongue and groove joints to lock the blocks together, creating the illusion of individual panes.

The Simpsons-inspired painted proscenium.
