Designer Mark Walters

Made in-house at Nottingham Playhouse 2022

​

Painted three backdrops with a small team. I sketched the design onto a pounce and traced it onto the canvas. I painted the buildings on the opening backdrop, the cut entrance covered by the Dick Whittington title, a flown sack as a cut out flat, also painted by me. The cut cloth with bells was painted by myself and Lisa Pickford. We also painted a full cloth with a segmented boat, one part moonlit. The chair prop was painted by me. Below you can see the various stages of the different cloths.
