Featured Designer

Phil Newman’s work can currently be seen at the UK Theatre Design exhibition Collaborators in Nottingham.

Since graduating in Theatre Design from Croydon College in 1999, Phil has designed a wide range of productions, from small- and medium-scale tours, through site-specific and devised projects, to main house shows. These have included work for such companies as SNAP Theatre (Funnybones), Pursued by a Bear (You Don’t Kiss, Monogamy), Palkettostage (Italian tour of Treasure Island), devised interactive projects for Ladder to the Moon and Trestle Theatre, and an open-air The Railway Children for Heartbreak Productions.
