"Notable for invention and accomplishment on stretched finances, this was a great evening of music theatre which demands revival a.s.a.p. The integrated producton team deserves congratulations. Staging is pretty basic, but with the generous box of tricks deployed by Lighting Designer Jake Wiltshire you'd never think so."

"I am always an admirer of John Ramster’s direction and unerring instinct for creating maximum impact with minimal resources, and he was well supported by Bridget Kimak’s striking set and costumes and Jake Wiltshire’s evocative lighting."

Serena Fenwick Musical Pointers

"The actual set – devoid of all except the most basic props – evinced a luminous, even phosphorescent quality enhanced by the wide range of lighting shades and intensities employed by Jake Wiltshire."

"In their production, Shakespeare’s tragedy unfurls on the stage against a livid sky, in turn malign and sombre. The use of lighting brings the bare landscape to life, so that the fitful emotions of music are tightly bound with colour."

""The production is well thought out and stimulating and there is some stunning lighting, too – most notably in the forest scene as the two children sing their prayer and go to sleep.""

"The second act forest (very effectively designed by Sakina Karimjee and quite beautifully lit by Jake Wiltshire), made the small stage appear vast and provided the perfect setting for a moving dream sequence ............... Some of the images conjured up will stay in the mind for a very long time"

""In John Ramster's excellent production a classical simplicity of approach and superb lighting (Jake Wiltshire) eliminated any need for scenery.""
