She has practical experience of creating green book shows gleaned from a range of projects from small studio tours to large scale productions . Maggs is currently engaged co-designing a summer festival for 400+ participants hoping to achieve intermediate green book status. - Jill Robertshaw, Deputy Production Manager, Nottingham Playhouse
Jill says: I’ve been at Nottingham Playhouse for the last 10 years, first as Assistant now Deputy Production Manager.In 2022 I was asked to be PM on the studio Christmas show and work to the Theatre Green book Baseline standard. This was the first time this had ever been mentioned, so I had a look at the Green book, and then booked myself on a Carbon Literacy course. I was lucky that I had a supportive creative team, but like me, they weren’t sure the best way to be Green book. That said, we did pretty well and we also worked with Nottingham Trent University who conducted a Life Cycle analysis on the set pieces. This has turned out to be really useful.
I hope I’ll have some useful tips for people of the day- certainly its not all been a smooth journey. But I do feel that this way of working is the way forward. We just need to influence the organisational leaders and reassure them that you can have a good looking show AND work sustainably too.
