    Culture Vulture VICTORIA - John Threlfall

    Blue Bridge’s production design is a standard highlight and here we have the return of some company faces. Patrick Du Wors (Streetcar, Salesman) creates a stark white skeleton set that manages to evoke churches, concert halls, country buildings and a spartan game show all at once…Du Wors also serves up some mighty fine costumes here…

    Monday Magazine, VICTORIA – Kelly Dunning

    The production also benefited from a beautiful set design by Patrick Du Wors, which included the soaring gables of a country church, a towering train trestle, a revolving white piano, and an enormous neon cross descending on wires from the ceiling. The costumes captured each era with flair and style, as the play spans several different years in the lives of the characters from the 1960s to the 1980s.

    The Telegraph, LONDON - Charles Spencer “The drama is set in a murky, run-down East London jazz club, splendidly realised in Patrick Du Wors's design, down to the last cigarette butt and beer stain.”

    Metro, LONDON - Robert Shore “Patrick Du Wors’ carefully disheveled set lovingly evokes the abandoned, mildly anarchic, after-hours feel of jazz venues…”

    The Times, LONDON - Clive Davis “Patrick Du Wors’s downbeat set design - with some audience members seated at tables, watching the characters occasionally wander among them - is strikingly effective.”
