| The Galley |
| crew quarters |
| The hammocks and the bridge |
| A massive rust-streaked metal wall with the Russian letters "Potemkin" painted across it dominates the stage. A thin rusty bridge cuts across the wall, allowing the commanding officers a clear view of their crew below. A tangle of crude hammocks flies in for the crew quarters, and suspended table tops define the galley. When the crew lands in Odessa, the ship wall and bridge have flown out, leaving only a vast expanse of sky which dramatically silhouettes the massacre. |
