“The sightlines of fortyfivedownstairs are notorious, as the stage is split in two by intrusively branching pillars. Rob Sowinski’s minimalistic set turns them into trees, beams, cell walls and makes the most of the space.”
Dina Ross, Australian Book Review
“Spare set design cleverly adds to the competitive tone, with actors pushing furniture prior to starting onto the stage like giant chess pieces. Let the games begin.”
Nick Pilgrim, Theatre People
“Credit is due to designer Rob Sowinski, whose minimal set captures the essence of country town without being overly cute or contrived. “
Jane Canaway, Australian Stage
“Rob Sowinski’s bare-bones design is moving and effective. “
Byron Bache, Herald Sun
“...remarkably solid and entertaining, with writing and performance, direction and design a cut above what you’d normally expect, even for a main stage production of a new Australian work.”
Cameron Woodhead, The Age
