Outstanding Set and Costume Design

"Sophie Woodward’s set evokes mountainous terrain with steep ramps ascending from the house, at stage level, to the General Store above. The angularity also suggests the splintered society the story takes place in. While the family home is stable, everything else is off-kilter. The store is stocked with bottles, canned food and other essentials; a place of sustenance and also a spot for Ezra to hide out, so as not to risk the family home.

The costumes (also by Woodward) are simple, suggesting a family of limited means, but with dashes of colour that indicate a passion for life even if their reality is compared to living inside of bottle of soured milk." Keith Gow. Australian Arts Review

​

"Sophie Woodward’s impressive, multi-level set design, stacking a general store on top of the family home, creates a great sense of place and time. Likewise, Woodward’s costume designs are wonderfully evocative of the 70s." Theatre Matters
