Praise for the Work
'The set design is as ominous as the premise. Anna Fleischle builds a cozy living room with half-painted walls, damp on the ceiling, and a wallpapered wall that's on the brink of being stripped. The state of the refurbishment clashes with the sleek extension that hosts the kitchen, creating a visual dynamic that speaks volumes about the subtext of the play.'
BROADWAY WORLD
'In Anna Fleischle’s clever set, the familiar trappings of a gentrified London kitchen in a terraced Victorian house – skylights, exposed brick – start to look like its weak spots, its soft underbelly. Working in tandem with Lucy Carter’s lighting, the set repeatedly gestures at the ordinary ghosts that surround us: shadows on the walls, reflections in the glass. Upstage, the motion-sensor patio lights flick on and off unnervingly.'
