Designer Katie Lias' Victorian theatre, complete with red-ruched satin curtains, fits like a glove back in the versatile cosiness of the Watermill.

The gorgeously decayed Wilton’s is the perfect backdrop to this consciously theatrical production with Katie Lias’s moody designs creating an unreal quality to proceedings
