REVIEWS

★★★★★ “A rich universe that is best seen rather than described.” — THEATRE MATTERS
★★★★★ “Go for the stage sets alone. Renée Mulder, Craig Wilkinson (optikal bloc) and Ben Hughes are to be congratulated. Together they are taking QT productions to a whole new level.” — WESTENDER
“Craig Wilkinson’s astonishing video design – part cartoon, part fantasy, plus heightened reality, is the very heart of the show and sets mood and place to perfection as well as driving the peripatetic energy of every scene… Wilkinson is one of those rare creatures who can reinterpret theatre craft for a new century and make AV as real as the chairs we sit on. He is an absolute master of his craft.” — STAGE WHISPERS
“The staging, for example, is genius… the genius is in video designer Craig Wilkinson’s animated projection onto the set.” — SCENESTR
