Theatre Design graduate Madeleine Girling, who graduated last year, is one of the winners of this year’s Linbury Prize – the UK’s most prestigious award for Stage Design.
The biennial prize brings emerging designers together with professional theatre, dance and opera companies. The winners receive a cash prize and a professional commission. Twelve finalists are shortlisted, and there are four winners.
Madeleine will now design Time and the Conways by JB Priestly for Nottingham Playhouse.
Madeleine designed the dress that featured on our 2011 prospectus cover.
RWCMD has enjoyed enormous success in the competition over the years. Previous winners from the College are Jean Chan (2009), Rhys Jarman (2007), Tom Scutt (2007). Adam Wiltshire (2003), Crista Noel Smith (2003) and Max Jones (2001), and many more have been shortlisted as finalists.
These designers have gone on to successful careers, designing productions for the Royal Shakespeare Company, The Royal Court, Royal Ballet, Royal Opera House, National Theatre, Welsh National Opera and many more.
