AOI Patron Carolyn Gowdy has designed the set for the Edinburgh Festival production of ‘The State We’re In’ by Zia Trench. The show runs until 31 August.

The play is a part fictional portrait of world peace and civil liberties campaigner, Brian Haw, who camped on London’s Parliament Square for eight years. Carolyn researched his current display and was reminded of a medieval triptych, and she aimed to capture the soulful essence, courage and conviction in her own interpretation.
