“Ryan Day’s stark, stabbing, angular lighting sends slashes of cold grey beams across the stage and jabbing through overhead vents where fans spin. It throws whirling shadows around Reid’s realistic set, which catches the feel of a grimy Scottish boozer in unstinting detail, down to the faded burgundy carpets and cheap-looking pine furniture.” - The Stage
“The atmosphere is created further by the use of haze and Ryan Day’s lighting. This is almost a character in itself when paired with the sound design of Tingying Dong. It creates this palpable of energy that has you hooked even when some horrific moments play out.” - Beyond The Curtain
“dimly lit” - WhatsOnStage
“the pub lit mostly warmly but dimly, bright rays flickering through fans. The atmosphere is intense and unrelenting.” - Warwickshire World
“The Weird Sisters sit around a pub table, which is lit by glowing lagers logos on the taps.” - The Times
“The show quite literally starts with a bang, plunging us into an alarming blackout. Sinister soundscapes and the unrelenting whirring of ceiling fans continue on through the darkness. If there was any way to get an audience primed for a night of deceit and treachery, it was this. Not only is the sound and lighting an assault on the senses, but the physical closeness of the action gives the audience no choice but to open their eyes to the unflinching tragedy before them.” - The Boar
