On the Verge...of time travel


I think the language of the play is something that's so vital to the play that it's only natural to have it featured on the poster. I also think that the time travel aspect of the show is something that is important to emphasize. I would love the poster to have the lines completely covering the page in gray lettering, used as a background if you will. From far away it would probably look like a weird gray pattern, but on closer inspection you would be able to read it. I would want it to be darker at the top and then fade lighter. Almost, the idea of fading out of time.  In the center I would like a victorian umbrella, a modern eggbeater, and a womanly safari hat. These things are hinting at plot points and the time traveling aspects, since you have a traveler's safari hat and the different era props. I would want On the Verge to be written below the safari hat, umbrella, and egg beater. I would use neon red "diner" lettering, like the signs you see in bars..or 50's diners. Since the second act is set in a diner it continues with the idea of time travel and tying into the show.
