" The circus-like staging, spectacular in its self-conscious sense of performance, seems in its carnivalesque features as if it has been put through Angela Carter’s creative wringer."
“The show is a triumph for the designer Georgia Lowe, whose pink-purple curtains and costumes and neon flourishes reach their apotheosis in a concluding scene of all-but-Nazi regalia.”
