Peeps of Two Cities

It's time once again for the Seattle Times Peeps Contest, and our very own Asst. Production Stage Manager Sarah Mixson, along with her partner, have submitted this entry, inspired by A Tale of Two Cities.


The background is Scenic Designer Carey Wong's set model for Tale. The details of this, Bernie Peepoff's execution scene in French Revolution style, make all the difference - note the red sashes on the revolutionaries demonstrating in the streets. And, see the Peep that appears to be knitting? An homage to Madame Defarge, who kept a record of the nobility's crimes against the people in her stitches.

Many thanks to Sarah and her partner for their hard word. Check out all of the Peeps on parade here.
