Kevin Jenkins's design is wondrous, evoking period and place marvellously and facilitating farcical interplay and confusions at rapid pace.

The technical triumph of designer Kevin Jenkins is that he doesn’t simply flip some doors around to represent the onstage set and the backstage area; instead, he reimagines the reverse as if it were the backstage of an in-the-round theatre, such as the Stephen Joseph. This means that entire door frames that fill the theatre’s vomitoria (the tunnel entrances to the stage between the seating) are swapped around between the acts. The geographical detail is mindbending and really places “the theatre” as a central character in this production. The Recs
