In the top left drawing, a view looking north east (i.e., as though you were at stage right, high above the theatre), the flies are prominently in view. Note that although the fly floor ishorizontal at the working level, the ceiling which it forms is raked. If this is confusing, you will see that the fly floor (#3, tan/brown) is thicker downstage than upstage.This rake parallels that of the stage floor, a necessary feature so that wings can be moved freely about the stage.
