Alice in Wonderland reimagined in Partition-era India, a lifesize puppet of a hyena daemon from Philip Pullman’s Magisterium and the cast of John Webster’s 17th-century play The Duchess of Malfi dressed as 1970s truckers. These are some of the creations that feature in a National Theatre exhibition showcasing the next generation of UK stage designers.
The display, which is at the National until the end of March, comprises work by the winners of the Linbury prize, a biennial award whose alumni includes some of the biggest names in the business, such as Es Devlin, who recently designed the stage for Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour.
