Just returned from lighting a mock New York Apartment built in the town square of a private french island for Blonstein & Associates.

Four & Five star reviews for Pelleas at Sadlers Wells.

'Alessandro Talevi’s staging skips the symbolist mystique – it’s all there in the words – in favour of a psychological drama, more akin to Strindberg or Ibsen than Maeterlinck. Aided by Madeleine Boyd’s ingenious three-tier set and Matthew Haskins’ subtle lighting, he homes in on the personal relationships… Pelléas emerges as very modern and very scary.’

Associate Lighting Designer to David Holmes for The Royal & Derngates's production of Humble Boy starring Lesley Joseph.

The first ever theatrical production to take place in the state apartments of a royal palace. Becs McCucheon directs for site specific company Angels in Architecture. Early reviews are pretty good:

The Stage said: 'The state apartments at Kensington Palace ring with the histories of troubled female royals down the years, from Mary II to Princess Diana, providing a haunting backdrop for this tale of a Queen destroyed by love - especially when filled with much swaying lamplight and watery sound effects.

Charles Spencer said: 'This is a lucid, often enthralling staging of a play that could easily seem as dry as dust. And the spectacular location seems more like an added bonus rather than the entire raison d'être.'
