Q&A with Designer Simon Kenny, hosted by Pilot Theatre’s Artistic Director Esther Richardson

Simon Kenny is the Set and Costume Designer of both Crongton Knights and Pilot’s 2019 production Noughts & Crosses. In conversation with Pilot’s Artistic Director Esther Richardson, this Q&A with Simon is a session for anyone curious about his work as a Designer, the process behind his designs and insights into the creation of the on stage worlds of Noughts & Crosses and Crongton.
Teacher’s Q&A with Carolyn Bradley, hosted by Esther Richardson
Tuesday 5 May, 2020
This Q&A with Carolyn was a session for teachers wanting help and advice on teaching Crongton Knights to GCSE or A Level students as a live theatre production or as a devising stimulus. It was a great opportunity for teachers to have their questions about the production answered, from a creative or educational perspective.
