"West End style is provided by Jack Weir’s smart and very impressive lighting design. Nostalgia is embraced by moody lighting states which evoke the possibility of youth, the lustful pleasures of performance (on and off stage) and the twilight stages of a powerhouse career. Most impressive are Weir’s evocations of Palace Judy is performance, where the lighting truly takes you to another place, another theatre..."

Jack Weir’s lighting manages a peripheral dimension partly off – red and green lights menace, and lights tables in a ghostly gleam.
FRINGE REVIEW
lighting (design by Jack Weir) brings forth the power and poetry of the original novel which is still so relevant today.
