Libby Watson - What inspired her to be a theatre designer
It was sort of places I wanted to work at that inspired me. I always wanted to work at somewhere like the Royal Court. That was a place they were putting on good plays, new plays, interesting work and have that reputation. So I wrote to designers who worked in places like that and asked if I could assist them. So that's how I got into those buildings, because that's where I wanted to be.
