Velká Británie

It is once again a great pleasure for the Society of British Theatre Designers to present this Exhibition of British Theatre Design at a Prague Quadrennial. This is the third time we have exhibited at a PQ and our members realize how great a contribution to international understanding and co-operation in the world of Theatre and the Arts is made at these Exhibitions. Theatre design is not just an academic subject but reflects the cultural and artistic heritage of a nation. To this end our Exhibition is drawn from the very wide range of theatrical activities in Britain. We have work from our national companies and work from the regional theatres. We have work from established designers and from those just starting their careers. We all join in greeting fellow designers from many lands and in celebrating Prague Quadrennial 1983.
