Reviews:

“exquisite set and costumes by designer Katie Lias with eye-catching retro kitten heels and pink turn-up trousers flitting around the stage. While breath-taking scene changes, particularly the first act’s transition from the duck-egg blue panelled town house to the grand rose garden, gave some necessary pace and movement to the play.”

Daily Gazette

“marvel at Katie Lias’ set with a colour palette that looks like cotton candy solidified. Her artistic eye continues to impress with the variety of costumes used throughout the play, which are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also very clever - especially in conjunction with their backgrounds.”
