Extent

The stage design for Fish wife demonstrates a woman embittered by years of hard labour, fearful for her future. A fish wife states her case against a backdrop of the local fishing village with dark and stormy clouds approaching. Her fate is visually demonstrated through a restricted colour palate and the busyness of the local town in which she resides.
