Reviews
“The design elements sustain the tension between hardship and hope. Geita Goarin’s set occupies a liminal space between realism and fantasy, yet in never abandons its grounding in working-class authenticity.”- Suzy Goes See
“With impressionistic swathes of grey concrete and wire fencing styles Geita Goarin’s bare set speaks volumes about a place where too many people have too little. There is nothing decorative here, and nothing is wasted”- Juliana Payne, Theatre Thoughts
