"Visually, this production was a feast. The mirrored stage floor offered depth and movement, reflecting the sweeping projections encompassing small briefly captured bits of magic. Lighting design was essential to this vision, and Matthew Marshall deserves praise for created an integrated visual world.”
“Jones designs as well as directs, including the entrancing video design from her company Lightmap. Lighting designer Matthew Marshall is responsible for the sophisticated interplay between light and shade.”
Deborah Jones, limelight-arts.com.au
Matthew Marshall‘s lighting design hones the intricacies of the video and set elements, using light and shade to ensure the audiences’ focus is always drawn to a point of view that makes it easy to follow the rapidly changing scenes.”
