A small child in a dark outfit kneels near the throne. Sheer golden drapes hang behind the stage. a person's appearance is uncertain, so the central figure is described by role only.2014-08-02July 20 20142014-07-20A decorated stage with a red carpet and black skirting hosts a large gold throne flanked by two gold lion figures. A seated man wearing a red-orange robe, a red-orange head covering and a green-and-white garland sits on the throne holding a tall trident-topped staff. Gold-framed arched panels, purple and pink uplighting, gold curtains and a spotlight on each side complete the set, and a small brass lamp sits on the floor near the throne.
