An Interview with Linda Otridge, Set Designer.

Linda Otridge is the set designer at Partington Theatre, where she leads the visual transformation of the stage from an empty space into a fully realised world for each production. With a background spanning graphic design, interiors, and garden design, Linda brings a distinctive eye for composition, texture, and storytelling to every show.

Victoria Verde caught up with Lorraine Richards and Catherine Cleary, Joint Heads of the Costume Department at the Partington Theatre, to find out what it takes to bring the panto to life.

Congratulations to everyone who took part, from those on stage to those in the background. It takes a lot of people to bring any performance to stage.

Taking place in Norfolk Square, this exciting new festival celebrates making in Derbyshire. There are lots of exciting activities to get involved with including puppet show, storytelling, music, sound, Virtual Reality activities, film screenings, creativity workshops and more, all free of charge.
