Libby Todd’s impressive design brings working-class, industrial London vividly to life with the inclusion of brick walls, wood and metal. It’s a versatile design with several surprises emerging throughout, undoubtedly one of the more impressive sets the Mercury has seen.
WHATS ON STAGE
The star of the show is the set design, beautifully fluid and revealing constant surprises and revelations right throughout the production, a triumph by Libby Todd. It provides almost a pop up version of the book, a canvas for the company to play on.
BRITISH THEATRE
Libby Todd’s intriguing composite set design has a patina of industrial decay; as the scenes change, arched windows lift to reveal new entrances and ornate panels shift to open up dusty corners of Satis House.
