Review: ESCAPED ALONE AND WHAT IF IF ONLY

“Marg Horwell’s overgrown weedy garden set, coupled with Jethro Woodward’s eerie bird chitter sound design perfectly summon a world that is slightly off-kilter – comforting and beautiful, but with the underlying feeling of unease…Horwell’s set design cleverly unites the two plays, placing the garden from Escaped Alone behind What If If Only’s open plan house.”   Read the review here
