"Their scummy resort is symbolised brilliantly by Sean Cavanagh's set, which turns the auditorium into a huge drained swimming bath, smeared a filthy brown at its waterline. Unforgivingly lit by Peter Zygadlo, and wonderfully constructed and painted, this is design work of the highest class."

"The production has been superbly designed, the action framed by the decaying walls and portals of the large family home."

"Sean Cavanagh's design, making full use of the theatre's revolve, is simply brilliant."

"Sean Cavanagh, without overdoing the period detail, creates a completely convincing 1973 interior"

"Sean Cavanagh's big brown set, with the fading insignia of Venetian lords above the looming wooden doors, is magical."

"...Sean Cavangh's excellent set, a highly authentic church hall, complete with stained glass St. George and the Dragon. You can almost feel the draughts."

"This sparky, vigorous production is well conceived, with Sean Cavangh's impressive set enveloping the Biedermann home in a huge explosive gas storage tower that opens up into the audience."

"A brilliant celebration of words, music and colour, Sean Cavanagh's designs are a visual feast, imposing but also tongue in cheek: I loved especially the cut-out camels and the prop-up sheep. All this goes perfectly with the piece."

"The real star is Sean Cavanagh's design - a large cupboard that opens to reveal the action taking place on an adaptable set that constantly springs surprises, often courtesy of the zipped-up walls from which objects and people spring."
