REVIEWS
Theatre Monkey
"It looks great. Emily Bestow spells out the title in a blaze of lights across the top of a proscenium arch, comes up with some ingenious visual humour (you will love the shark, fish and seagulls); plus outfitting the gang in Scooby-Doo gear, instantly recognisable wear for the times."
Theatre and Tonic
Emily Bestow’s charming scenic design is likewise a perfect complement to the airy narrative. The extension of the satire to the aesthetic level not only heightens the show’s campy charm, but it also aptly plays on the kind of low-hanging comic fruit we are all too familiar with, from rubber fish to dismembered limbs.
North West End
Emily Bestow’s set design is simple, but a visual treat, transforming the intimate Southwark Playhouse into a retro beach paradise. The backdrop, awash with bright colours and nostalgic motifs, perfectly complements the energetic performances. The costumes, also by Bestow are bursting with sass and flair, amplify the show’s playful spirit"
West End Best Friend
"Emily Bestow has created a colourful and retro backdrop for a wealth of slapstick comedy. Vibrant costumes accompany energetic dance numbers"
Little Lark of London
"Set Designer Emily Bestow (who also designed the costumes) has created a postcard-like word for the show, keeping the performers in a container-like setting on the beach. Even with its simplicity, it has some fantastic details, including the water’s edge on the beach that leads into the audience and some adorable little starfish and seashells."
