Reviews 

Stephen Barlow's direction and Yannis Thavoris's sets for all three operas were exemplary: straightforward, visually interesting and adding plenty of atmosphere to proceedings. (One Stop Arts)


The sets — in case you thought student meant low-rent — are great. (London Evening Standard)


Yannis Thavoris rather cleverly used the same basic set, with a wall across the stage, for all three operas. The post-bombing detritus in La Navarraise turning into a pile of antiques and junk at Des Grieux's shop in Le portrait de Manon and then reverting to junk under the bridge in Comedy on the Bridge. (Planet Hugill)


... It succeeds wonderfully well, in Stephen Barlow’s beautifully-judged staging... It’s a rattling good story, told with great economy and skilfully woven in Barlow’s powerful updating. ... a striking visual theatricality, which director and designer (Yannis Thavoris, excellent throughout) exploit to the full. (What’s On Stage)
