The Rivals (Mercury)

by R B Sheridan

Colchester Mercury Theatre - Main House

Director - Gari Jones, February 2011

Lighting Design - Ben Payne

'The design was spot on, with a stripped-back industrial set, stunningly lit up

with dressing room-style lighting.' - Colchester Gazette

'...a sort of hana-michi thrusting into the auditorium which is extremely effective.' - what's on stage

'...a striking blend of glitzy glamour and almost industrial grimness: the black walls, floor, chairs, setting off the colourful costumes.' - The Public Reviews

'The costumes immediately set the production apart...big praise to Designer,

Amy Yardley.' - essex days out.
