“the lighting design (by Matthew Marshall) was both confronting and poignant, matching the theatricality of the show perfectly”
Rachel Hains-Wesson, Lowdown Magazine
“Quality is written all over this production. Its pedigree is impressive”
Jan Hallam, Perth Now
“It's the music, together with the strong, sometimes in-your-face (literally) lighting design (by Matthew Marshall), the inventive, surprise-filled set and a flame-haired Ella Hetherington's endearing and elastic performance as The Girl that convey the story of loneliness, isolation and childlike curiosity”
Mark Naglazas, The West Australian
“like Tan’s work, the visual style of the play is a richly detailed feast for the eyes...Fans of Tan’s work will instantly recognise the rusty textures, warm sepia browns and otherworldly turquoise shades used throughout the set and lighting design: creating an overall effect of a picture book come to life”
Andrew Searle, ArtsHub
