Reviews Gate
"Designer Emily Bestow has created a terrific set which changes before one’s eyes as the action moves fron the Simpson’s flat to the Ritz, to the Furness home, and to Fort Belvedere in Windsor Great Park."
Musical Theatre Review
Full marks too to Emily Bestow for her neat set. The playing space at Upstairs at the Gatehouse is quite spaciously transverse with the audience to one side. She uses every inch of it and includes a hinged table, a sofa which is slid in and out of a cupboard, and a flat which pivots to offer two different scenes. The rest of the stage is furnished with, for example, bookcases and desks, so that we move quickly from the Simpsons’ house to 10 Downing Street and the home of the valet and maid.
