Dark Rituals is a story about author Anne McCauley as she writes her book titled: Dark Rituals of the First Nations People. During her research she is quickly intrigued on the legend of the Wendigo; a story of a man that consumes everything he sees and once loved. Meanwhile, her son Harrison plots her death by means of the very same legend. The story unfolds along with Harrison’s sanity, being consumed by his own greed. By the end of the play it leaves the story of the Wendigo uncertain of being legend or fact.

I accomplished this through my design by distinguishing scenes influenced by the legend, though shifts in color and intensity. I also used elements such as fog and gobos to add to the atmosphere of the supernatural.
