Abstract: William Inge's Picnic was chosen for this M.F.A. thesis production because it afforded the opportunity to design within the boundaries of realism and because it represented a script of dramatic merit. The thesis is divided into the following three divisions: (1) Part I: The Play Background and Design Approach, (2) Part II: The Technical Production and (3) Part III: Critical Evaluation. Within each part the setting, the costumes and the lighting are discussed. Part I deals with the factors influencing the visual design, including the playwright's suggestions for scenic elements. Part II, largely illustrative, contains the working drawings, renderings and graphic plots which went into the technical production. Part III discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the production with regards to the setting and costumes and the relative success of the lighting.
