Tigz' Andy Webb directed and produced the work as well as creating the lighting design. His aim was to make it "very bit as memorable as any West End production in the context of the space and place".
Webb is also technical manager of the Sundial Theatre, and they have invested in Robe moving lights as part of the house rig (Wash 250 XTs and MS Zoom 250 XTs) which have been a great asset and are used in all types of student productions. For We Will Rock You, he boosted the Robe content of the rig by hiring in additional moving lights from Bath-based rental house, Enlightened.
The total Robe count included 12 ColorSpot 575 ATs and eight ColorWash 575 ATs, 10 MS Zoom 250 XTs and seven Wash 250 XTs. The units were rigged all around the stage. There were six main lighting booms onstage, addressing the side and rear aspects of the set that was constructed from panels of metal fencing. The booms had a single ColorSpot 575 AT in each high position on each individual post.
