Description Answer: I normally deal, for example, with the lighting. So I work quite closely with the lighting designer and normally I understand that the director tends to work with the lighting designer but that tends to be my function. So that if it, yeah, during the technical rehearsal process, that will be what I do. Along with making sure the set happens in the way I want. Question: Do you think lighting is very important? Answer: Yes - crucial. Question: Particularly when you're touring, I mean do you use it to sculpt the space and create mood? Answer: Yes and we work extensively with a lighting designer called Judith Greenwood, who's been with us for years, and hopefully she's able to go with our productions on tour. So she can actually recreate her image, rather than just leave it to somebody else. No, lighting is very important, lighting is crucial.
