“The first thing to say about Toast is that it looks gorgeous. Scrumptious even. Good enough to eat. Libby Watson production design hits the perfect nostalgic notes, and Zoe Spurr’s ever-excellent lighting design is a superb demonstration of what lighting can do to lift and enhance the action on stage, and act as as subtle and emotional guide for the audience”

November 2017
“Zoe Spurr’s brilliant lighting design means there is little intervention required from cast and crew to get the audience to the right area, as one scene naturally ends, the next is illuminated in such a way that the audience are drawn there like a moth to a flame. What we watch can, at times be uncomfortable, but like the moth we just cannot pull ourselves away.”
“...as one chapter concludes, Zoe Spurr’s crafty lighting design catches the eye from across the car park and draws the audience across to the next piece of the puzzle. ”

Erwartung / twice through the hearT
November 2016
@ Hackney Showroom with Shadwell Opera
"Shadwell Opera present a dazzling double-bill of one woman psychodramas: erwartung by Arnold Schoenberg and twice through the heart by Mark Anthony Turnage. Separated in the writing by ninety years, these two monodramas, both to words by female librettists, Marie Pappenheim and Jackie Kay, break apart and reconstitute the mind of an isolated woman in extraordinary stream-of-consciousness narrations"
