Bill's careerHead of props Bill Talbot says that he was never a theatre buff as a child, but got into the business later in life. His brother was enrolled in a theatre design programme at Nottingham University; Bill went to check out the course, and was immediately sold on it. The programme was very practical and incorporated design as well as prop-making and he liked the variety. He has now been working in props for 20 years, and says that he never stops learning. Designing and making each prop is different, so his job never feels repetitive. |  | |
