As You Like It

“The hills glow majestically under Ryan Day’s subtly stunning lighting, which shifts with painterly precision through phases of pink, purple and warm amber, suggesting the natural cycles of night and day, conflict and forgiveness, with which the characters’ gradually fall into sync.” The Stage

“Ryan Day’s excellent lighting creates some very striking effects to accompany the ruthlessness of Duke Frederick’s rule, which is then softened as we enter Duke Senior’s relaxed, bucolic environment.” The Real Chrisparkle

“Ryan Day’s lighting design beautifully complements the set, enhancing the contrast between the two worlds and bringing the production’s visual transformation to life.” Theatre and Tonic

“The black Elizabethan gowns of the court, Puritan-like but flecked with ornament, and designed by Colin Richmond, are stunning too, as is the chequered shadow-play of the early scenes, in Ryan Day’s lighting design.” The Guardian

“We start in a cold and slightly dystopian, futuristic Court set against a harsh white backdrop, the whole cast dressed in black. It makes for beautiful light and shade, thanks to Ryan Day’s lighting design, shadows cast along the stage.” The Arbuturian

“Ryan Day’s lighting shifts from the court’s harsh monochrome to the gentler, natural light of Arden” British Theatre Guide
