“The set by Simon Corder was impeccably done, with a minimum of stage furniture. A painted cloth is used as backdrop, based on an original by Cornelius Bogerts.” – Colin Clarke, Seen and Heard International, 13 June 2014
“Simon Corder’s sets deftly enhanced such contrasts. A reproduction backcloth depicting a cooper’s workshop foreshortened the brightly-lit stage before the interval, and the close proximity of the cast as they negotiated the barrel-strewn strip recreated the immediacy and vitality of a tavern theatre.” – Claire Seymour, Opera, August 2014
