REAGAN KELLY

"Lighting by Claire Yorston was evocative and extremely effective. The usage of downlights and colour helped to convey the story extraordinarily well, especially during the ending scene. When the blaze began, we slowly saw the stage turn yellow, orange and then burnt red, one of the lighting highlights."
