With a 1960s twist, a hilarious villian double act, and some crafty sci-fi loopholes, @GreenwichTheatr Dick Whittington is a family-filled feast of hysterics that will have you in awe with some stunning set pieces and energy from the entire company on stage 👏👏👏

"Emily Bestow has designed an incredibly detailed set that fits with the naturalistic style: a fishing cabin (where at one stage, a fish gets gutted) full to the brim of life and the world of The Man."

"Emily Bestow’s set design is beautiful. The wooden cabin feels warm, welcoming, and loved – a place where memories were created and can be warmly remembered. The river itself is cleverly represented by strands of fabric hanging around the cabin making for a striking visual."

In 2020 I made a little WhatsApp group for the designers I knew, who felt like they didn't fit in the graduate or the 'established' category. It had about 7 people in. Today the group made 100 members, all supporting each other in the wacky difficult world of theatre. 🥳

Sally Rooney on the psychological toll of renting:

After being no fault evicted in January I have found it IMPOSSIBLE to find somewhere to live as a theatre designer in London. So fed up and it is the driving factor in my considering throwing in the towel on a job and industry I love.

🔵Reform won four seats. 🟢The Greens won four seats. This graphic shows the four Reform seats. The four Green seats are lumped in with ‘other’. It has begun. There will be more. Call it out when you see it. Give the Greens the platform they have earned.

"The scenery is possibly one of Derby Theatre’s strongest setups for a long time. Emily Bestow, Set Designer, has utilised the whole stage and even parts of the theatre itself. The colours are beautiful to look at" @theatreandtonic thank you for a WONDERFUL review!!
