Two Linbury winners take theatre work
Two of the four winners of the Linbury Prize for Stage Design 2013 have been assigned to work on a production with companies in Scotland. Ana Ines Jabares Pita, a graduate of the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama, will join the National Theatre of Scotland while Alexander Ruth, a graduate of the London College of Fashion, will work with the Dundee-based Scottish Dance Theatre (SDT). His placement will tie in with a major collaborative project between SDT and the V&A in Dundee, which will focus on the creative and practical sides of designing for the stage. The touring display of designs by all finalists is on show at Dundee's Bonar Hall until March 1.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
