A FACE IN THE CROWD


'Directed with brio and crowd-pleasing indulgence by Kwei-Armah, his valedictory production is full of effervescent, foot-tapping numbers and rousing ballads, anchored by the impressive vocal ranges of the main actors and well served by Anna Fleischle’s expansive, skilfully rendered set design.' The Telegraph


'All of this is told with some verve on Anna Fleische’s wonderful picture-book set which frames the action in wood-panelling and a rectangle of lights (designed by Jackie Shemesh) where the changes in costumes subtly mark the passing of the years.' WhatsOnStage


'It’s a story that jumps between several US states, and the marauding world of the show is gorgeously realised through a carousel of set designs by Anna Fleischle. The power of radio to connect the isolated is conveyed as the output from a glossy 50s radio studio beams into illuminated windows dotted above the stage, framing listeners in their respective homes. As Marcia and Lonesome travel from Arkansas to Illinois, Fleischle’s moving train carriage evokes Wes Anderson in its colourful symmetry.' London Theatre


WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT ANNE FRANK


'Anna Fleischle’s set design consists of the skeleton of a home, white-greyish borders to show where walls and doors might be; two white kitchen units in the middle of the floor, joined together by a table and two seating units; a background of large, blue textured squares, which overlap to create dark rectangular shadows. The design subtly reinforces the idea that, for Jews, “home” is often a fraught concept. Fleischle’s house is like a show home, with not much personalisation and everything having its place.'  London Theatre


'... Marber keeps the chat tautly dramatic, filling Anna Fleischle’s elegant skeleton of a kitchen with the antagonistic cross-currents of things best left unsaid.' The Guardian


'... cleverly evoked by Anna Fleischle’s geometric set design...'  The Times


'These comedies of manners usually start with canapes and niceties, but on Anna Fleischle's status-conscious minimalist kitchen set, the tension opens at 7 and cranks up from there...' Ham & High
