Finished editorial illustration, 16:9 landscape, of an intimate independent theatre seen from the back of its small auditorium. Place a comically squat stage and enormously tall terracotta curtain on the right two-thirds. The curtain is almost closed, with a narrow opening onto an empty, warmly lit stage; taut asymmetric folds and a sharp wedge of light suggest imminent performance. Three simple mismatched seat backs overlap the lower edge, with compressed, telephoto-like flattened layers. Sage walls, a small high window admitting cool blue twilight, warm cream stage light. Leave a broad quiet area of sage wall on the left. Expressive hand-drawn marker contours and broad colour blocks, softened with sparse velvety mezzotint-inspired grain and tonal edges. Exaggerated proportions, thumbnail-legible silhouettes, minimal detail, no intricate hatching. One coherent interior, no people, no text, no logos, no watermarks.
