HOME AT SEVEN REVIEWS
"From the moment the lights fall on the stage, we are fully immersed in the era. The set design by David Fitzhugh and costume design by Jan Huckle are deeply evocative of the era, so much so that I almost expected it to be in black and white. Everything works to place us in the time, with the background music, set dressing, and the accents, particularly the classical Received Pronunciation BBC voice. A particularly interesting piece of the set is the telephone, which is the actual phone from R C Sherriff’s estate."
