“It also has a superb set by Sarah Beaton which manages to conjure up the dingy house and include that essential window onto the world outside into which Philip dares not go until, of course, Harold persuades him otherwise. It is one of the best uses the space the theatre provides." – Reviews Gate

“Sarah Baton’s bluish-and-eggshell distressed-wall set is exquisitely designed round studio theatre constraints, with two exits and a side window where winds of freedom beckon. Clothing takes on another dimension where two lives are repurposed. Costumes for Phillip, are more subtly done. He doesn’t begin as clad too childlike. Softer colours emerge, yellow loafers added without laces, which delight him. If grunge to Cardin surprisingly suits Treat, at least outwardly, they contrast with the perpetual mid-century brown of Harold." - Fringe Review

“And that set by Sarah Beaton? Well, let’s just say I went home and scrubbed away the finger marks around my light switches. Beaton offers us a window onto a world outside that we never see, all while the world we do collapses into it’s own small space." - London at Large

"In every aspect of this production, the rawness and sheer emotion on display is enhanced subtly in many ways through Sarah Beaton’s rustic and intimate set design." - Love London Live Culture
