Ingenious and atmospheric fifties designs by Naomi Wilkinson The Telegraph
Even the props look as if they're in drag in Naomi Wilkinson's design. Her set and costumes highlight the exaggerated gentility and correctness that Dahl often drapes over the nastiness. For the opening wisp of a story, in which a naive young man seeks a new lodging, she hangs a fringe of lace curtain over the stage. Behind it is a landlady equipped with a syringe and a pair of rubber gloves; her unyielding stack of hair looks like a taxidermist's trophy. Observer
Naomi Wilkinson's set designs - flown scenery and revolved mini sets are ingenious The Stage
