Reviews
“Alex Musgrave makes clever use of lighting, spotlighting scenes, bathing the beautiful Irene in golden light as she dances with her soon-to-be lover Bosinney, turning the scene dark and frightening when Soames, catastrophically, insists on his marital rights and rapes her, an act that precipitates a schism in the family.”

“Leaps of place and era are conjured intangibly, by shifts in Alex Musgrave’s lighting.”
— The Guardian —
“Above all the meticulously detailed lighting designs and soundscapes created by Alex Musgrave and Max Pappenheim summon up the changing, busy world of Victorian London. I was especially impressed at the way in which we get to feel we know the modernist house Robin Hill and its beauteous setting in the Surrey Hills, without ever seeing it. Our imaginations are stimulated to fill in the rest and the role it plays in the lives of so many of the characters across the generations.”

“Alex Musgrave further inspires the imagination of the audience with his fantastic lighting design, used expertly to portray pretty much everything from tangible things like doors and fire to different atmospheres and emotional states of the characters and their relationships.”
