Description Question: The position you hold as being involved from the beginning is unusual for a designer, do you think you could function in any other way? Is that the only way you like to operate? Answer: It's the only way I'd like to operate. But under other circumstances, clearly I would have to operate in another way. I haven't recently worked with any other directors, possibly because they now regard me as completely intolerable. I don't know. Question: What about other designers? Do you ever work with other designers? On a piece? Answer: No. I never have. And you'd rather not? No. I don't...I think you get used to the idea of theatre being collaborative, and you actually get quite good at collaborating. I mean I'm not someone who comes in with a vision and says 'This must be, this is my vision, this is what it must be' That is simply not my process.
