This month, Ada High School and Ohio Northern University graduate, Jill Davis, is at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London.
She is the daughter of Duane and the late Helen Davis of Ada.
She was invited to design the set and costumes for three short farces by Feydeau. Geoff Bullen translated these scripts from French and is now directing the production he has dubbed “Chez Feydeau.”
Here is one of the three renderings of the set Davis created for the production. “There are three projection screens above the set that have images of Paris at the turn of the 19th–20th centuries,” explains Davis.
