Description Asked to design an imaginative 18th century world rather than an historically accurate one, Lees has come up with a stunning concept. Says Hooper: 'The characters are all pretending to be something they're not and they are revealed for who they really are. Allan came up with the idea of X-ray clothes you can see through. That also ties in with the ideas of sex expressed in the play'.
