Synopsis

From his first designs for Covent Garden and the Ballet Rambert in the 1950s, through regular commissions for the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre in the 1960s and 1970s, and on to the West End in the 1980s and the world’s stages in the 1990s, Ralph Koltai is possibly the most wide-ranging and consistently prolific British stage designer.
