Press quotes

Sleeping Beauty

It’s bright, loud, colourful, utterly silly, and it knows it.
Rob Bartley, East Midlands Theatre 22/12/2021
a gorgeously lit set of greens, purples and sparkle
Sally Jack, British Theatre Guide 13/12/2021
With impressive sets and costumes and brilliant lighting designed by Matt Ladkin, the production superbly sets each scene from the bright glittering palace to the dark looming forest.
Mark Johnson, Beyond the Curtain 12/12/2021

Aladdin

It’s lit classily like they used to be, it looks like a traditional panto, it’s everything you want and more.
Alex Belfield, Celebrity Radio 27/12/2019
Writer Eric Potts and Janice Dunn's direction keep everything moving at a good pace, the set is a fairly simple series of backdrops and curtains with the whole production brought to life with Matt Ladkin’s effective lighting design (and a big “wow” for the impressive magic carpet sequence).
Sally Jack, British Theatre Guide 21/12/2019
