'SUPERBLY DESIGNED..The design is the star. Lily Arnold’s set, ably lit by Matt Leventhall, is dotted with winter trees and dominated by a ‘house’ whose exterior surfaces are alternatively reflective and transparent. This brings a surreal and occasionally gothic quality to the live action.' Stephen Longstaffe, The Stage ****
'It’s hard to imagine how one could effortlessly whisk an audience from a balmy Indian evening to the confines of a cold single room in a dark, daunting English mansion but designer Lily Arnold does it brilliantly. The set, which includes a partitioned metallic box centre stage, is beautifully versatile. One minute conjuring up an atmospheric dense woodland, the next it reveals a solitary study or lonely boy’s bedroom.' Tracy Walker, North West Mail
