Buxton Opera House

Directed: Kitty Walker
Designer: Nikki Charlesworth

“Imaginative staging and lighting are a watchword of this production … As it opened, actors were dotted around the dark venue, lights eerily illuminating their faces as they held books. Umbrellas with sparkling lights created a magical effect as well as reminding us that in Buxton ‘it rains so much, it could make your head bleed.’ The effective set was based on the iconic Scriveners Bookshop; it opened out so you could see inside.” – Buxton Advertiser
