Sally Jacobs (née Rich, 5 November 1932 – 16 August 2020) was a British stage designer and director.
[2] She began working at the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1962 and brought a very different appearance to many of their productions with her stage and costume designs.
[3] During her career Jacobs has designed costumes and sets for a very wide range of theatre and opera productions.
She was inspired by a production of the Beijing Opera to provide a blank white box as the stage and clothe the actors in brightly coloured costumes.
[4] In 1984 her design for Turandot at the Royal Opera House used mirror images and colour contrasts to suggest an audience all around the performers.
