Short Desc Eighth video interview clip with Theatre Designer Sally Jacobs
Description Question: Do you think that there are any designers working currently that are working in new ways? Answer: Everyone's trying all the time, but what's new today is very different to what was new then. It's very, very much more conceptual today because of the proliferation of the availability of especially Shakespeare the demand to find more and more novel ways of making, what we call, accessible to the bigger and bigger to an audience has actually created endless blind alleys that sometimes somebody gets it and really hits the right note in a contemporary way and does do something which is, you know, newå? but the search for the new is ever more demanding. And, I mean, it never stops because you can't treat these plays like an antique, you know, holy texts they not they're about reality.
