Press:
‘Gorgeously designed by Lily Arnold, the set superbly evokes the southwestern setting. A claustrophobically small square of wooden decking is surrounded by a monumental emptiness of sand, scrub, and desert flowers. A vast mirror fills the rear wall, at times serving as a canvas for Andrzej Goulding’s atmospheric video work featuring churning clouds and fragmentary faces. At other moments, it starkly reflects the characters, each one ultimately alone in an expanse of profound blackness.’ Dave Fargnoli, The Stage ****
‘Handsomely designed by Lily Arnold’ Sam Marlowe, The Times ***
‘Exquisite and lavish design…The set is the real centrepiece of the production. Lily Arnold covers the stage of the Print Room with sand, making it pour out of the niches at its sides. A wide, shiny wooden deck holds very hygge furniture and a tall wall in the same style of the platform with a large mirror. This hides a massive box of sorts which hosts some of the action but is mainly used as a screen.’ Cindy Marcolina, Broadway World ***
