“Reuben Speed dishes up an attractive design of a realistic pair of trucks with a smattering of real looking furnishings” – British Theatre
“Reuben Speed’s multi-functional set looks every inch the public school” - The Reviews Hub.
“There is handsome set by Reuben Speed, and the films of the forties with their patriotic style have clearly influenced things.” – Review Gate.
“The set works remarkably well in the performance space, allowing the show to switch between staff room, common room, bedroom and classroom (and so on) with minimal fuss – and yet it is abundantly clear each and every time where each scene is set.” – Londontheatre1
