Press Quotes
“Simon Wilkinson’s lighting is tremendously versatile and elegantly directed”
Hugh Simpson. All Edinburgh Theatre
Simon Wilkinson’s lighting and Lewis den Hertog’s projection design are exceptional, creating a constantly shifting visual landscape of memory, football mythology and emotional weather
Greg Holstead, North West End
“The first thing to strike you in the theatre is the gorgeous staging and lighting. The set instantly evokes memories of an old-fashioned club function room, and the simplicity of the lighting, a solitary light shining through a window, is so effective in every sense”
Dougal Thomson, A Youngish Perspective
