"Colin Richmond’s richly elegant design and Ryan Day’s lush lighting do sterling work, too, with everything coming together beautifully in service of the production." - Whats On Stage

"The tone is set as soon as you enter the theatre with the blood red lighting and the chequered stage with black and red colour. Tonally Ryan Day's atmospheric lighting throughout brings a sense of mystery and magic to life. The world of the show is created through an impressive visual palette with Colin Richmond's set and costume design, Day's lighting paired with the use of stage haze and Marc Teitler's score." - Beyond the Curtain

"I can report that Ryan Day’s lighting design is excellent, with the auditorium being bathed in red light at the beginning and providing some impressive eerie effects" - The Real Chrisparkle

"Lighting designer Ryan Day covers it all in ruby hues, making use of more dark than light much of the time to expertly unnerve." - All That Dazzles

"Colin Richmond’s set design is hugely evocative, as is Ryan Day’s lighting, with the Swan’s stage bathed in red light" - The Reviews Hub

"Stage and auditorium are flooded in red light, designed by Ryan Day: the edges are fuzzy, as if the proscenium arch had slipped itself into a fluffy mule." - The Guardian

"Ryan Day’s lighting is atmospheric, bathing the stage in red, casting shadows and highlighting/lowlighting to add some true eeriness to the piece." - Fairy Powered Procudtions
