“Vulcan is meticulous in his design, the aesthetics feel entirely in tune with the clinical and desaturated nature of the text. […] Vulcan has built an absolute spectacle of lighting into the membranes of the set. […] lighting that breathes and has a life of its own, almost reacting organically to actors.” - Bronte Lemaire, What’s The Show

“The set is masterfully done as well. Dividing the stage in two served a great purpose and didn't feel wasteful or excessive.” - Nicolas Van Der Haar, On The House

“[…] stark lighting cues from set and lighting designer Tom Vulcan are hugely impactful. […] So, too, the two-tiered staging – at first, white and clinical, then giving way to the blackest of blacks.” - Alex First, The Blurb
