Oxford Reference Online describes Eden as a paradise of sorts. “[T]he place where Adam and Eve lived in the biblical account of the Creation, from which they were expelled for disobediently eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge. • [as noun] ( an Eden ) a place or state of great happiness; an unspoilt paradise: ...” (ORO “Eden”). Therefor the scenery should look like a paradise. Bright colors and luscious trees are important. The scenery should be mostly greens in order to contrast with the bright colors of the fruit, but both should be bold none the less. This should also be a set that invokes a large amount of light. The feeling this play gives is of light and hope; which also makes the colors stand out more. The more light, the brighter and more vibrant the colors. This means open spaces allowing light to poor in. Putting together these aspects of color and light, the set should seem more "paradise-y" and heavenly.
