When Tom Lingwood was working on a new production, he seldom slept and thought nothing of working on some minute detail of a set or costume until minutes before the curtain went up. Tom was adored in the scenic workshops, prop rooms and wardrobe departments because he was such an encourager. Tom knew what a few words meant to a carpenter, painter, seamstress or milliner. 

Some years ago, Tom wrote about the task of a designer: Starting from the work itself attempting to capture the essential spirit of the original conception and presenting it afresh.
