The Space, London
2023
Directed by Sophia Hail
Designed by Daniel Camou
Sound by Sam Tannenbaum
Lighting by Ferdy Emmet
"Lighting by Ferdy Emmet and sound by Sam Tannenbaum form an integral part of the work designed to change the moods and create triggers for the development of story and atmospheres for thought and reflection."

Richard Beck — Broadway Baby
"It is expertly crafted, and nothing is missed. The smell of pine as you enter the room, the dirt beneath your bare feet, the campfire picnic of Spanish sandwiches, Budweiser and takis, the ever-rumbling soundscape by Sam Tannenbaum and the rhythmic lighting by Ferdy Emmet, all work in perfect harmony to create a nostalgia for a place the audience are unlikely to have ever visited."

Lighting by Ferdy Emmet
"Every element, from Theo Foley's precise sound design to the evocative lighting by Ferdy Emmet, collaborates to paint a vivid picture of a soul in turmoil, wrestling with the inexorable march of time. The result is a poignant piece that is both timely & timeless."
