Evening Chron­i­cle (New­cas­tle) Blood flows freely, and the body bags pile up. Spe­cial effects are utilised very clev­erly, and, along with David Gregory’s excel­lent sound design, they cre­ate a very engross­ing experience.

The British The­atre Guide on The Wages of Thin (ORL) The set by James Cot­ter­ill is exact, David Gregory’s sound design and Matthew Pitman’s light­ing com­ple­ment each other — when a train passes over­head the cen­tral light rat­tles and dims.

The Stage on Wait­ing for Romeo: Nina Brazier’s direc­tion brings the dichotomy of the sis­ters into stark relief while out­side the war rages on, thanks to excel­lent sound design by David Gregory.
