REVIEWS
On Alice in Wonderland:
“A sumptuously designed, modern reimagining of Lewis Carroll’s children’s classic… The design and special effects of the show (by Anisha Fields) are awesome to behold. After Alice falls down the rabbit hole, there are disappearing and multiplying Alices; a giant Alice, tiny Alice, and a growing Alice – all wonderfully conceived. A vast array of scene changes reaches its zenith at the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, a stylish composition of bronze, pink and powder blue.”
On Squirrel:
“This small wonder is full of surprises… this remarkable production mixes Bauhaus-style designs and jazz in an irresistible treat for under-fives... this is an unusually cool, even chic children’s production, but it’s also supremely welcoming and warm-hearted, with an understanding of its under-five audiences that is as sophisticated as its cultural references..”
“At the end, Anisha Fields’ stylish, clever set reveals a flurry of surprises. The blocks, cones and balls spill all over the stage and suddenly resemble a forest landscape. As the kids lose themselves in it, you couldn’t wish for a merrier Christmas scene”
★★★★★ Guardian
Never mind The Nutcracker – the most fun I had at the theatre last Christmas, in fact all last year, was with a nut-hunting squirrel. Staged in an attic space at the Egg theatre in Bath, Kate Cross and Tim Bell’s half-hour show for under-fives let loose a puppet rodent on a brilliant Bauhaus-style set.

On I Wish I Was a Mountain:
“Designer Anisha Fields has created something very special here and the effect is magical”
★★★★ Stage Talk
“Stunning”
“Scattered around him on stage are wooden houses of different sizes, cleverly designed by Anisha Fields. Some conceal smaller houses with roofs that open to reveal props; one house pours sand out of its chimney, much to Aggie’s delight. Another home pops up inside a book”
“The set design was nothing short of magical…. a brilliant set, where light and sounds design were able to create the magic necessary to bring this story to life”
