...in Still's production everything unnecessary is pared back. Malcolm Rippeth's washed-out lighting suggests huge maritime skies and the few scenic items respect the opera's setting and work hard
Richard Bratby, The Spectator 17/04/2025
Malcolm Rippeth’s evocative lighting evokes dawn to dusk on the coast, shadows and silhouettes creating an oppressive feel, especially as the mob-rule chorus bays for Grimes.
Mark Pullinger, Gramophone 07/04/2025
…lighting capturing the moody grey of the East Anglian coast, a single boat suspended above the action, black as doom
Rian Evans, The Guardian 07/04/2025
Malcolm Rippeth’s carefully judged lighting bathes scene after scene in striking atmosphere – nowhere more so than when the baying mob of villagers repeatedly scream Grimes’ name before hunting him down.
George Hall, The Stage 07/04/2025
