“Figures lurk in those shadows and towards the close, as the night draws in and Ryan Day’s lighting design casts stark shadows, the blackness around the brightness of the playing area, full of bustle and life in Charlotte Broom’s busy movement direction, neatly supports the play’s central thesis about the great show of life being just tricks and illusion, disguising the effort needed to maintain the lie of power.” Whats On Stage
“As always, lighting at any Open Air Theatre is a highlight of any production there, and this was no exception, with Ryan Day’s gorgeous lighting coming into its own in the second act, particularly in one beautifully lit sequence.” All That Dazzles
“Ryan Day’s lighting design, in conjunction with Elena Peña’s sound design created sizzling tension and a thrilling setting in which the story whizzes along.” Theatre and Tonic
“The lighting is properly atmospheric, especially as dusk falls over Regent's Park and the stage takes over from the natural sky.” Cool Curation
“The remaining props are minimal yet effective, while lighting and fog deepen the sense of immersion into the underworld of London.” Theatre Weekly
“A gorgeous scene at a Victorian circus has superb lighting effects, fun costumes, a red smoke canister and a stupendous fire eater” Theatre Vibe
