Press Quotes
striking and beautiful visual imagery – the little man-sized paper boat lost in a huge blue sea of rolling fabric, under superb lighting by Simon Wilkinson
Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman
a beautifully made piece of visual theatre, continually presenting its audience with memorable and evocative image
Andrew Edwards, Exeunt Magazine
rendered simply yet powerfully by Ana Ines Jabares-Pita, the designer, and Simon Wilkinson, the lighting designer
Allan Radcliffe, The Times

Mark Fisher, The Guardian
lighting from Simon Wilkinson that reflects the shifting moods so effectively, from the cold icy blue of separation to the warm hues of shared joy.
Irene Brown, Edinburgh Guide
the rich colours of lighting designer Simon Wilkinson set against the viscous darkness offer a small glimmer of humane light
