We are saddened to hear of the death of esteemed Theatre Designer, Pamela Howard. Pamela began her career at Birmingham Rep in the theatre’s paint shop, later designing numerous shows for The Rep including As You Like It (1967), A Midsummer Night’s Dream (1970), and Blues, Whites and Reds (1974). One of the country’s most prolific and influential theatre designers of her age, her seven decade catalogue of work includes designs for the RSC and the National Theatre. Photos from Birmingham Rep’s 1967 production of As You Like It - taken by Houston Rogers, and a costume design from the 1970 production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

It's press night for The Snowman™! ❄️☃️ Break a leg to our wonderful cast and creative team as they share this brand-new world premiere production with the world tonight!

Here's to a night of enchantment, friendship and discovering winter magic with family and friends, as you’ve never seen it before! ✨ 📸 The Company of The Snowman™ 📸 Alice O'Brien (Frosti) and Kynda Ng (Skadi) 📸 Teague Applegate (Father Christmas) 📸 Tate (The Boy) and Aaron Smyth (The Snowman) 🗓️ Must End Sun 1 Nov 📸 Johan Persson Photography by © Johan Persson Production Design: Anna Fleischle
