Set design is particularly impressive, with the Theatre Royal Drury Lane - one of London's largest stages - filled with John Gunter's recreation of an Atlantic liner. Since the production's transfer, Stage Technologies has taken over the automation for the show, providing revolve and a hand-held Saxis controller.
Since its launch last year, the Saxis has proved a popular addition to the rental department, having already been used to control single axes at venues from the Royal Opera House to the Theatre Royal Stratford East. Plugged directly into a three-phase mains power supply, this compact hand-held control system is offering productions a simple and budget-friendly solution for smaller automation requirements, sat Stage Technologies.
