"Foreboding whispers and droning crescendos accompany blinding lights and the surprisingly haunting presence of mathematical equations occasionally projected onto the house.
​
The light and sound used to cut between flashback and the present near the beginning of the second act is flawlessly executed, and highly impressive to watch."

"Joseph Ed Thomas and Dan Pyke’s sound and light subtlety and beautifully enhance the emotional arc of the piece, allowing the narrative timeline to be clearly depicted."

"Joseph Ed Thomas’ lighting design veers from the naturalistic, bringing changing seasons and even some delicate snow in moonlight to the stage, to the harshly dramatic, assaulting the audience’s retinas with blazing back-lighting that has no mercy."
