Every designer works in a different way, and this exhibition shows us the process of award-winning theatre designer Alison Chitty.

Director of the renowned Motley Theatre Design Course, she has designed for the theatre for 40 years in many performance spaces, from small studios to international opera houses, and also for film.

Using landmark productions to show how Chitty works, including The Voysey Inheritance, Khovanshchina and The Minotaur, the exhibition follows her process, from the first sketch book to final designs. This is a unique opportunity to view work normally only seen in the studio, rehearsal room and workshops.

Platform event

To coincide with the NT exhibition, Alison Chitty will talk about her illustrious career on the 2 March at 6pm. Book now.

Exhibition opening times:

Monday - Saturday from 9.30am - 11pm
and Sunday 12pm - 6pm (when there is a performance in the building)

Alison Chitty: Design Process 1970-2010 finished on: 28 March 2010
