Bob Crowley
Michael Berkeley's guest is the set and costume designer Bob Crowley.
The set and costume designer Bob Crowley says he creates 鈥榦ther worlds鈥�. The stage is where his imagination runs riot, at the National Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company the Royal Opera House, the West End, Broadway and beyond.
He鈥檚 won numerous Olivier and Tony awards for memorable designs such as the brightly lit revolving horses for Carousel, magical black and white tissue paper drawings evoking the foggy London skyline for Mary Poppins and couture dresses and the River Seine for An American in Paris.
He鈥檚 also worked on many new plays including The History Boys by Alan Bennett. His most recent credits include Richard the Second at the Bridge Theatre in London, with Jonathan Bailey in the title role.
Bob's music selection includes Tallis, Gershwin, Schubert and Verdi.
