Frank Conway is one of Ireland’s leading stage, film and television designers and ITI is delighted to see that his work with Field Day Theatre Company has been selected for the UK PQ15 national exhibition in June this year www.pq.cz. Frank has been at the forefront of Irish stage design for many years and has espoused the benefit and value of the Prague Quadrennial on many occasions. Frank is committed to supporting young and emerging Irish designers and he formed links and partnerships with industry stakeholders and spearheaded the formal partnership between the Institute of Technology Sligo and the Abbey Theatre Dublin. IT Sligo offers the only full time honours degree course specialising in Theatre Design in Ireland.

Frank Conway said:
Stephen Rea is a rare breed of artist, with his particular level of talent, vision and passion. I am proud to have collaborated with him and Sam Shepard for Field Day Theatre Company in Derry. The fact that the design was chosen to represent the United Kingdom at such an important international event as PQ15, a gathering of the best in global scenography over four years, is a testament to the level of collaboration and excellence that Field Day espouses.
