"Anna Fleischle’s living room set is both haven and prison, dominated by a huge grey sofa and floor-to-ceiling translucent curtains, reflecting Hedda’s unstable state of mind."

Financial Times

"Anna Fleischle’s set is all 21st-century Soho House polish – a log burner flickering beside a record player – yet it hums with claustrophobia. A two-way chaise longue pins the characters in place, while a distracting automatic door slides open and shut, a restless world beckoning and receding in turn."

WhatsOnStage

"Excellent set and costume designer Anna Fleischle provides a vogueish living room with swirling white curtains, soft grey sofas and Scandi wood panelling where clever inset doors pop open by backstage hands. There's also a nod to Hedda's past – a record turntable owned by the music biz exec father who spoilt her."

Broadway World

"Nods to Ibsen’s homeland can be seen in the Scandi set design (Anna Fleischle) and in the age and origin behind the ‘deactivated’ guns. The small Ustinov Studio stage is made to feel expansive, with impressive lighting design (Lucy Carter), which conveys the peaks and troughs of the onstage power struggle. This is also emitted in the costume design (also by Fleischle), especially for Hedda, as her outfits become progressively darker—from baby blue, silk pyjamas to a grey two-piece and a fully black top-and-trousers combo."
