“The set doesn’t look like a stage, but rather a flat we’ve wandered into by mistake. The clutter, the damp patches that appear in real time on Bec’s tracksuit bottoms when her waters break, the claustrophobic hum of lockdown: every detail adds to the sense that we are intruding on something very private.” –The Live Review London

“Sarah Beaton’s rich set design complements this beautifully: baby books, NHS letters, laundry that’s fresh and dirty and everywhere. It’s cramped and chaotic, but cosy and lived-in. You can see Bec, and the remnants of Alex, in every corner.” – All That Dazzles

“Sarah Beaton and Alex Musgrave share Duke’s impressive creative problem-solving abilities in their set, costume, and lighting design, respectively. They craft numerous moments of simple but impressive theatre magic that help to immerse the audience in Bec and Alex’s world. ” – The Reviews Hub
