Reviews
‘The set design by Elijah Moshinsky invokes the images of this nocturnal other-worldliness with sheer style… Indeed this production is a masterpiece of design and lighting.’ The West Australian

‘As the Governess, Eilene Hannan performed grippingly…The final scene, going from high drama to poignant grief, was arrestingly good.’
The Australian
