“Credit must go to designers, Joana Dias and Jamie Vartan for creating a really lived in set, piled to the rafters with stolen goods and random objects, the clutter really helps to involve us in the action.” - uktheatre.net
“The set, designed by Joana Dias and Jamie Vartan, accurately portrayed the shared house of young adults, who clearly hadn’t really matured into ‘adult’ society. (…) Their dress, quirky tattoos and hairstyles reminded me of ‘This is England’ and the idea of a gritty underworld was just as prevalent.” - ayoungertheatre.com
