Biography
Chris's recent designs in the commercial arena include Candide and Sweeney Todd (Värmlandsoperan, Karlstad, Sweden), Nine (Malmö Musikteater, Sweden), Il Trovatore (Tbilisi Opera & Ballet Theatre, Georgia and Dalhalla Festival, Sweden), Cyberjam (Queen’s Theatre) and Nixon’s Nixon (Comedy Theatre) in the West End, and I Wanna Hold Your Hand and Oh What A Night (Colorline Cruise Ship Fantasy).
While he is very happy to create work on a larger scale, he also enjoys the challenge of distilling the essence of a piece when resources are limited, designing regularly for small scale and touring companies. Shows include Crossings (Julie McNamara Productions at the Cochrane Theatre, DaDa Festival, Liverpool and tour), Tomorrow Morning (Landor), Straker Sings Brel (King’s Head), and regular collaborations with Krazy Kat Theatre Company, including A Victorian Mikado, Petrushka, A Tempest, Clownderella and The Very Magic Flute.
