FOR SOUTHERN BELLES @ KING’S HEAD THEATRE

‘An exquisite direction pervades the show from start to finish and, from Sarah Mercadé's design to Ben Jacobs's lights, the production employs a certain kind of gentleness to portray sentimental devastation.

‘[the costumes are] beautiful works of art’ **** Pelican Magazine

‘as intimate and compelling as it is starkly beautiful… The distinctive and yet cohesive base costumes evoke the clinical, the feminine, the time, and the personal shapes of each face of Dorothy Lawrence. As the performers move seamlessly between characters and seasons the costumes serve to blend and guide the eye along with them.’ **** Fringe Feed
