The Master Of Ballantrae (1975)

Concept and creative process

Titles for ‘The Master of Ballantrae’, a drama series adaptation by Martin Worth of the novel by R.L.Stevenson, which tells the story of a bitter, lifelong feud between two brothers living in 18th Century Scotland. The conflict between the two brothers was represented by the blood red colour of the titles and the silhouetted thorny briars that became increasingly thick and impenetrable.
