"Chris Dyer's Cubist-inspired set,
a revolving central unit of white staircase and landings, is
backed by changing photographic blow-ups, huge and grainy, of
Sloanes, clones, cops and bits of architecture. Side-balconies
extend into the auditorium. On one the five-piece band plays,
commenting on the action like a film score - in the case of Romeo's
suicide, by hypodermic, with hilarious incongruity." Michael
Coveney, Financial Times 9.4.86
"Chris Dyer's stage design, a bare
marble piazza with statue and pillars and a backdrop for blown
up black-and-white photographs, is indelibly Italian." Nicholas
de Jongh, Guardian 16.4.87
