“…the set is absolutely magnificent” BBC Radio Ulster
“…with Paul O’Mahony’s excellent set at once linking and
marking off the two kinds of terrain.” Irish Times
“Paul O’Mahony’s set takes on a kind of metamorphic
character of its own. Decked with book
shelves, writing desks and half-drank glasses of martini (or milk, as William
Shawn’s seemingly preferred beverage), the space is reinvented for each scene
at the hands of the actors in sharply choreographed outbursts of dance,
purposeful rearrangement and drunken disorder to the beat of Philip Stewart’s
evocative soundscape. Altogether this production is a sensual, scrupulous and
compelling examination of the rise and fall of one of Ireland’s most talented
and equally troubled female literary figures.” Irish Theatre Magazine
“Worthy of note are the rather exceptional costumes by Irish fashion designer Peter O’Brien and an inventive set by Paul O’Mahony.” The Stage
