“Both the lighting design by David Walters and the video design by Craig Wilkinson enable the story to be seen and felt, with the video literally ‘papering’ the characters to both explain stories of the past, and to remind us of who these proud men are representing. It is a genius touch.” — STAGE WHISPERS
