I first worked with Aaron Sorkin twentyone
years ago on the pilot episode of The West Wing.
Like Being the Ricardos, The West Wing took its
audience on a ourney behind the scenes of one
of the most ubiquitous settings in contemporary
American culture.
When Stuart Besser, the line producer, contacted
me about designing Being the Ricardos, he
worried that I wouldn't be interested in a ob he
described as recreating sets which someone
else designed seventy years ago. In retrospect,
I think that was his way of enticing me
challenging me to come up with an original
perspective on a setting which was already
deeply ingrained in our collective consciousness.
