The
Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe "At the centre of the innovative costumes and scenery is the enormous wardrobe - almost a character in itself, which is the highlight of a stunning set. Using the rest of the church as an extension of the stage in the second half is an inspired move and one that will no doubt be utilised again in this magnificent setting." The Stage "Charismatic lion-king Obioma Ugoala benefits from a marvellous long entrance, as the back-wall of the stage opens to reveal the apse beyond, bathed in golden light. "One small person near me responded to the revelation of Aslan's return with a loud gasp of awe, as the primitive magic of a communal desire to believe started to catch hold of the audience." London Theatre Blog "This original production has some truly magnificent points of interest. A faultless set, meticulous costume and polished performances from an experienced cast did full justice to CS Lewis's wartime children's fantasy. "The
costumes are exquisite, ranging from see-through wire frame unicorn
masks, wonderfully lit secret police wolves, and the African majesty
of Aslan." Camden New Journal
Romeo
and Juliet "This fast-moving production … is always clear and, at its best, as real and moving as if it had never been seen or read before." The Stage "Designer John Risebero deserves a medal of minimalism for his lovely set. His opening and closing scenes … are bookending masterpieces of chilling, spine-pricking emotion." Fringe Report
The
Importance of Being Earnest "John Risebero's stage design is one of the best I've seen on the fringe." Time Out
The
Shakespeare Revue "John
Risebero's sparkly set and Howard Hudson's neat lighting give a professional
polish to the production that entertains." |
