“The transitions are beautifully handled with projections by Matthew Marshall displaying quotes on love and writing by literary luminaries that run across the stage”
Helen Barry, Australian Stage Online

Jason Blake, Sydney Morning Herald
“the creative team of designer Tracy Grant Lord, lighting designer Matthew Marshall, and composer and sound designer Steve Francis who vividly create Eason's world.”
David Kary, sydneyartsguide.com.au
“Tracy Grant Lord’s set design is uncluttered and evocative, capturing precisely that balance described in the play as the essence of good writing. The same could also be said of Matthew Marshall’s lighting design and Steve Francis’s music”
Gareth Beal, ArtsHub
“Sydney Theatre Company muses Cate Blanchett and Andrew Upton have recruited a particularly interesting director in Jocelyn Moorhouse, who’s brought her film background to bear through the medium of designer Tracy Grant Lord and, more particularly, Matthew Marshall, the lighting and projection designer, who’ve created cinematic backdrops that illuminate the outside world by way of the illusion of a forest cloaked in snow and animated quotes from great authors. Sometimes fragments of text spill all over the performers, whose characters are both writers. Anachronistically, it becomes a feature in itself without really intruding or diverting attention away from the main game”
