Prema Mehta Lighting Designer
Prema trained at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. She is the Founder of Stage Sight, an organisation committed to creating an off stage workforce that is more reflective of our society today, inclusive of ethnicity, class and disability.
She is a Fellow of Guildhall, Trustee of the Unicorn Theatre and an Artistic Associate at the Young Vic.
Prema Mehta uses light and dark in clever ways to heighten the drama and delicately reminds us of its theatricality The Guardian on Hymn (Almeida)
