Emma Chapman
Press Quotes
The Ones That Flutter
""Helen Goddard has created a remarkably versatile set which copes with the different environments with ease and believability. Her set is complimented by Emma Chapman's highly evocative lighting design. These two vital elements firmly propel the audience into Roddy's world, and more importantly into his mind.""
Skye Crawford Fringe Review 2009-09-18
""The acting and staging really are outstanding, delivering emotional pyrotechnics with the requisite force time after time.""

The Mountaintop
"James Dacre's production works well, with imaginative lighting from Emma Chapman"
Winston Yap TheatreFix 2009-08-13
"Richard Hammarton's music & sound and Emma Chapman's lighting design are very effective."
The Mountaintop
""The author grew up in Memphis, a child of the post-civil rights era who benefited from the changes King could only glimpse from his mountaintop. She and her creative team have honoured his memory in this powerful play.""

Small Change
"The telling is exquisite to witness"
Elisabeth Mahoney The Guardian 2009-04-02
"Patrick Burnier's set design exquisitely recreates the pre-barrage mud flats of Cardiff Bay and along with Emma Chapman's lighting and the subtle sound design of Adrienne Quartly the greyness of life's atmosphere is perfectly caught"
Michael Kelligan Theatre in Wales 2009-03-31
The Lifesavers
"Helen Goddard (set design), Emma Chapman (lighting design) and Richard Hammerton (sound design) are to be highly applauded for their dead on target, explosive design skills."
Skye Crawford Fringe Review 2009-02-19
"Chapman and Hammerton have the audience on constant knife point with their powerful and frightening combination of hollow, claustrophobic and stark prison sounds and lighting."
Skye Crawford Fringe Review 2009-02-19
"This production is very highly recommended not only for its brave new writing, but the quality of all elements merging together to produce a powerful and memorable night out at the theatre."

The Railway Children
"Staging the show in which trains play such a large part requires clever effects to kick-start the imagination and this is achieved especially well, aided by terrific lighting and sound effects."
Caroline Hardy Sevenoaks Chronicle 2005-12-08
Phaedra's Love
"Blending tragic emotion with the age of junk food, there's nothing disposable about the dialogue; every utterance moves the action forward and Anne Tipton's production - beautifully lit by Emma Chapman so that at one point the burning Phaedra disappears in a red haze - has a matching finesse."
Dominic Cavendish The Daily Telegraph 2005-10-31
The Wind in the Willows
"Part of the charm of this lovely production comes from its simplicity. The set works exceptionally well as does Emma Chapman's lighting, no more than in the beguiling Sail Away number, when Rat and Mole gently cruise down the 'river'."
Caroline Hardy Sevenoaks Chronicle 2004-12-16
High Society
"Emma Chapman's lighting lends depth and motion "
