"in terms of the set..."

Luke has said this a lot of times. We are thinking about suburbia, signposts, letterboxes, astro turf. We are full of kid stories. The magic physicality of our own childhoods, vaulting the fence down to the creek, jumping off the shed roof, swinging down from the top bunk to the bottom one. Freedom and bodies. Feeling safe while doing dangerous things.

'Lets get a parkour guy in to teach us stuff,' 'Imagine if we turned the bottom bunk into a trampoline,' 'Chinese pole on the signpost,' 'Off the ground tiggy.'

The classic 50’s aesthetic that goes with the superhero and ourselves not superheroes but imagining we are. Sometimes the superhero story looks real. Can we have a signpost, powerlines, a bunkbed a table we can slide on and monkey bars all in the same set? And also a brick wall, a staircase and a hills hoist??? Luke is dreaming and wants to build it…

We think we can get cheap astroturf...
