“Jamie Platt’s lighting tints all this white space in pastel tones of rose-pink and pale mint, subtly suggesting changes of location.”
Dave Fargnoli - The Stage - 14/11/2023
“And Sarah Beaton’s delightfully perfect white set – skilfully lit by Jamie Platt – attests to the audience that all here is clear and simply delivered, with no extraneous business to distract. This is a team who together know what they’re doing.”
Mary Conway - Morning Star - 13/11/2023
“With no more than two chairs as props, pastel shades illuminate the stage, turning the cube from blue and pink to mint green indicating scenes and their different sensations in colour.”
Rachel Nouchi - British Theatre Guide - 10/11/2023
“There is nothing on Sarah Beaton’s blank white box of a stage to distract us from their reckoning apart from two plastic chairs and a splash of colour on a back screen, which changes to mirror the mood, from blushing pink to icy green.”
Arifa Akbar - The Guardian - 10/11/2023
“Effective lighting is by Jamie Platt”
John Groves - London Theatre 1 - 10/11/2023
“An enticing rhythm ties the production together, with smooth chronological movements carried out with a change in lights (Jamie Platt) and a flash of classical music (Max Pappenheim).”
