Press round-up:
“Paul Wills has come up with a twin-level set which is moody, murky and cheerless, establishing an atmosphere in which villainy prospers until the extremely bloody end.” – The British Theatre Guide, Steve Orme
“There is a nice touch of irony in the illuminated exit sign at the iron door of the court that is also prison and madhouse in Paul Will’s nightmarish set. Suggesting that the damned protagonists are free to come and go is just another turn of the screw, one more bit of psychological torture in a Jacobean revenge tragedy that rises above mere theatricality.” – The Stage, Pat Ashworth
“Designer Paul Wills confines the action within a set of dank, brick walls, while Ben Ormerod’s stark lighting throws plenty of long shadows for Adrian Schiller’s DeFlores to lurk in.” – The Gaurdian, Alfred Hickling
