RAW MATERIAL / EDEN COURT HIGHLANDS
THE STAMPING GROUND
EMPIRE THEATRE, EDEN COURT 2022 / SCOTTISH TOUR, 2023
“...a stunning set from Kenneth MacLeod, a stone monolith-like backdrop ... It all drives home that ever-present sense of place and myth that roots The Stamping Ground. ★★★★”
“... in Kenneth MacLeod’s inventive stage design, sharply cut light lines in turn symbolise the sea, the mountainscape, or the metaphoric heartbeat of the land. ★★★★”
“Kenneth MacLeod’s simple, circular backdrop with its ‘big wheel’ motif, appearing as though it is a prehistoric rock imprint in relief, or an outline of Scotland and its islands. ★★★★”
“... with Kenneth Macleod’s monumental centrepiece a versatile chameleon presence, its final surprise creating a real sense of wonder. ★★★★”
“Kenneth MacLeod’s designs evoke the Highland setting through craggy abstract symbolism”
