Katie Lias’s striking two-tier set design
The Telegraph
Designer Katie Lias artfully conjures a BBC sound studio post-war… the whole edifice of the Goons comedy was built on his writing (as cleverly demonstrated in Lias' design, with an untidy pile of discarded paper growing above the studio ceiling)
WhatsOnStage
Designer Katie Lias’ deceptively simple set captures the practical austerity of a 1950s radio studio, while hiding extra spaces behind gauzes… it adds another layer of comedy and invention to the production.
The Stage
…melt with nostalgia at Katie Lias’ artful set of old tape spools and microphones
