"Emily Bestow’s bright and cartoonish set and costumes are a delight"

Adventures In Theatreland

"Emily Bestow has created a colourful Pudding Lane with references to local stores. With functional doors, this main set undergoes its own couple of transformations with the help of a time machine. The sets feel animated, as though a large scale children's book, and this is a credit to Bestow. The costumes, particularly Tommie the cat, Meggs and King Rat, are also impressive to behold. "

The Stage

"thanks to some ingenious stagecraft from set and costume designer Emily Bestow, it looks impressive"

The Family Stage

"" Emily Bestow’s versatile revolving set design is fantastic, offering a feast for the eyes with plenty of amusing little features to look out for (including the return of some familiar puppets). The costuming is similarly playful – Meggs’ bosom buns are a sight to behold!

ABOUT THE DESIGN

Set in the Swinging 1960s, the design was deliberately colourful and bright. The main story took place on Pudding Lane. A drain cover served as a trap door for King Rat's entrance. The 3 sided revolve needed to actually hide 5 different sets. The clock tower face was used for projection.
