About the production
UK premiere of Yentl at the Marylebone Theatre, adapting Rachel Burke’s original lighting design.
Reviews
""Abrahams, who also directs, has draped the production in Expressionist hues, sumptuously lit by Rachel Burke and Tom Turner""
The Times
""There was no need to underline what was happening, given it was clear from the action on stage, all of it atmospherically and cleverly lit (kudos to Tom Turner and the technical team – the literal lighting of Yentl's religious awakening at the start and the growing gloom at the end matched the mood perfectly).""
London Theatre Reviews
""Lighting design by Rachel Burke originally and Tom Turner for this production is dark and gloomy, giving an ominous effect that has a huge impact and always looks beautiful - the gradual fade out in a couple of moments was a particular strength, with a stunning use of shadows at crucial moments""
