Lyle Productions - The Hope Theatre 2022

'The intimacy of the Hope Theatre places us on top of this emotional roller-coaster and the work of the creative team heightens its impact. Anna Kelsey’s set covers the floor in what amounts to an artistic installation of grass, rocks, soil, flowers, empty cans and an amusing red and white toadstool that would not be out of place in the Tate Modern. Who would have thought so much could be fitted into so small a space and convey such a sense of location.’

Richard Beck - Broadway Baby *****

‘With the audience on three sides of a runway-style stage (designed beautifully by Anna Kelsey), there’s a closeness and intimacy that is impossible to escape from.’
