With a prop like appearance, the bright red whimsical Chaise Lounge at the rear of the Drum Theatre was created by Big Fish P/L to be a talking point as well as being utilised by visitors, shoppers and performers.
With hundreds of patrons attending the Drum Theatre each month, much of the day to day activities occur at the rear of the building. The Chaise Lounge’s prop like appearance prompts passers by to question whether the seat has been left outside the Drum Theatre by accident.
The Casting Couch, as it is now locally known, provides a quirky and light-hearted contrast to the award-winning Drum Theatre façade.
