“Clarke’s design team (Eugyeene Teh, design; Russell Goldsmith, sound; Rob Sowinski, lighting) are rightly listed as equal creators and have made the Theatre Works space intimate and confining. There’s no escaping to empty space and no where to look but at the people speaking. The lighting and sound concentrate the emotion and the inescapable darkness and, with Teh’s exquisite set, give the final air and breathing space that’s needed”
Anne-Marie Peard, Aussie Theatre
“Daniel Clarke’s extraordinary lightness of touch in directing this very emotionally heavy piece (the performance runs for 100 minutes with no interval) is beautifully complemented by the intimate set design and evocative light and soundscapes. Eugyeene Teh’s simple but thoughtful set enables three performers to remain on stage for the entire performance, as witnesses and observers of the action that is unfolding; involved yet simultaneously distant in the drama in which they are entrenched. Similarly, Rob Sowinski and Russell Goldsmith’s lighting and sound designs are perfectly in sync and create natural segues highlighting the key shifts within each monologue as well as between the monologues themselves.”
