Neil Austin

Neil Austin is a lighting designer who worked for the stage play of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

Austin is an Oliver and Tony Award winner. His other notable credits include Shakespeare In Love, Henry V, Death and the Maiden, Hamlet and The Seafarer.

Austin gave an interview about working on the play, stating - "My main aim for the show was to create something magical. With Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, the primary desire from everyone involved was toz use traditional theatre craft and techniques but push the boundaries as to what we thought was possible. We needed to produce something mesmerising and create the world of illusion that the audience would expect from Harry Potter".
