Reviews:
“Recognition should also be given to local talent, Raymond Milner for the ingenious artistic set design. At first, it may appear simple and minimalistic, perhaps to focus attention on the complex artistic expression of grief. However, when you come to realise what the rings of circles on the ground symbolise, the stage then becomes another imaginary layer of grief “ Helen McDonald – Weekend Notes – (Poison – EG Productions)
