Here are some lighting looks/moods, these are pulled from various versions of Government Inspector, as well as from some designers that I find fascinating. I've pulled a number of different options, to explore which possibilities work, and which don't.
This is an example of the very stark and cool look that I feel is often associated with Chekhov and 'Russia'
Here is a much more natural look, it is warm without drastically affecting the tone of the show.
This image is very 'amber,' giving the scene a dim warmth. This is a look often seen in Moliere comedies.
Finally this image plays up a very 'pink' look that's often used in comedy.
Personally I favor the second image, it has the most natural look, but leaves plenty of room for specials and effects.
Below are two links to a designer page. I couldn't copy the images but if you follow the links you can look through the image galleries from some of her shows.
- The 7th image at this site (below) gives an interesting possible look for the Inn room. While this image isn't 'cool' as we talked about, it does give a certain impoverished feel.

- The 2nd and 3rd image here give a sense of the warm amber often associated with 'classical' pieces. Would we like to aim for this mood?
