The Cook Did It! Sketches

Hey folks, thought we’d share with you a couple of early poster drafts forĀ The Cook Did It! which were quickly knocked up by Arianne Wolodarsky on a sketchbook. We’re also very excited to have Jeff Haas back on board with us again this time around. Jeff has done quite a bit of design work for us in the past including the original artwork used in our 2011 poster for The Curse of Miss Fortune.

We have drafted two different designs, one of these will be selected. The first design is quite gruesome i’m sure you’ll agree. It shows the suitcase with bodyparts sticking out of it. The Cook (Olsen) has a rather sharp looking butchers knife with complimentary blood and some of the other characters are looking at the suitcase in a state of confusion. Once again this design has a cartoon surreal feel to it. The second design taps into the “he’s behind you” theme. A clear outline is seen of the cook holding up the butchers knife suggestively.

The remaining characters appear to be unaware of the cooks presence. The characters are also lined up in a police indentity parade giving suggestion that they are the ones under suspicion. Further to this, their obvious eye glancing at each other plays on the notion that they also suspect somebody (apart from the cook) is to blame for all the wrongdoings at The Old Country Barn Hotel.

The actual poster design will be created we hope within the next few weeks and, of course, you’ll see it here first. Stay tune for all the latest news on The Cook Did It! including our cast and venue touring details.

A few months have now passed since we delivered our first ever production to Bristol, London and Edinburgh. I want to thank everybody who was involved in The Curse of Miss Fortune truly.
