Matt Powell

A MIRRORED MONET - Projection Designer (Charing Cross Theatre - 2026) “Matt Powell’s superb video design transforms the canvases into shifting landscapes, paintings and bursts of Monet’s luminous artwork” (Everything Theatre) “excellent use of video projection (Matt Powell) and lighting (Jodie Underwood) transports us to the Beaux-Arts Salon in Paris, a foggy London and the stunning Giverny countryside that we associate with Monet’s work... a beautifully immersive effect” (Theatre and Tonic) “The projections work harmoniously with Libby Todd’s set design and beautiful easels, enhancing the visual storytelling and adding depth to the world of the production.” (All That Dazzles) 📸 @peachyraith Composer, Book & Lyrics — Carmel Owen Director — Christian Durham @chrisdram Musical Director — Michael Webborn @mwebborn Designer — Libby Todd @libby_todd Lighting Designer — Jodie Underwood @jodieunderwoodlighting Sound Designer — Andy Johnson @andy_sound1983 Video Designer — Matt Powell Production Manager — James Anderton Assistant & Movement Director — Heather Douglas @heatherand5678 Assistant Music Director — Rachel Blaquiere Orchestration - Neil Metcalfe Casting Director — Jane Deitch General Managers - Katy Lipson & Kristie Winsen for Aria Entertainment

LAUGHING BOY (Jermyn Street Theatre/Theatre Royal Bath - 2024) “The designs envelop the scene, indicating changes in the setting, but also becoming interactive tools, testimonies, evidence, artefacts from that harrowing period. It’s a level of digital production value that we’ve never seen on Jermyn Street before.” (BroadwayWorld) 📸 Alex Brenner Directed and Written by Stephen Unwin after Justice for Laughing Boy by Sara Ryan @unwin4869 Set and Costume Designer: Simon Higglett Lighting Designer: Ben Ormerod Sound Designer: Holly Khan Associate Director: Ashen Gupta Stage Manager: Daisy Francis-Bryden

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (Hope Mill Theatre/Liverpool Playhouse) “Looks and sounds a treat...impressively designed...The Universal monster movie aesthetic is drawn out by Sophia Pardon’s monochrome set design and Matt Powell’s video work, which is full of lovely background gags (there’s even jokes in the end credits” (The Stage) “A particularly inventive choice is the use of video across the back, fantastically designed by Matt Powell. This was creatively utilised to signal changes of scenery and to evoke the feel of classic horror films adding a layer to the production that keeps the audience engaged and constantly aware of the playful parody at hand...a monstrous triumph” (All That Dazzles) Manchester: Mark Senior Liverpool: Cian Ryan Director/Choreographer: Nick Winston @nickw1nston Set Designer: Sophia Padron @sophiapardondesigns Costume Designer: Lorraine Parry Musical Director: Francesca Warren @francesca.warren Orchestrations/Musical Supervisor: Charlie Ingles @cjimusic Lighting Designer: Aaron J Dootson @aaronjdoots Sound Designer: Ben Harrison @bensounddesign Video Engineer: Ieuan Watkins-Hyde @ieuanwh Assistant Video: Ryan Watson @ryanwatson.studio

BLINK (Kings Head Theatre - 2026) The Fringe Awards Nominee - Video Design “Matt Powell’s video design sharpens the illicit feel with degraded video textures. Sophie’s fragmented body – zooming in on her eyes, hands, lips – is strikingly voyeuristic.” - The Spy in the Stalls “Striking use of video design from Matt Powell is kicked up a notch, with the significant presence of screens cleverly replicating the live video of Sophie watched by Jonah at times” - All That Dazzles Writer: Phil Porter Director: Simon Paris Set and Costume Designer: Emily Bestow Lighting Designer: Peter Small Sound Designer: Sam Glossop Production Manager: Daniel Steward Stage Manager: Elsie O’Rouke Photography: Charlie Flint
