Commissioning Companies: Nottingham Playhouse

Nottingham Playhouse creates world-class theatre made in Nottingham, encompassing timeless classics, enthralling family shows and exciting new commissions. Visiting dance, comedy and theatre companies add to the theatre's diverse programme of activity.

The three Linbury finalists chosen by Giles Croft, artistic director of Nottingham Playhouse, will be tasked with developing designs and models for a new stage adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front from the novel by Erich Maria Remarque. Adapted for the stage by Robin Kingsland and directed by Giles Croft, the play and the theatre space demand bold interpretation of the text and confidence on the part on the designers in describing First World War trenches within a 1960s building.
