"It benefits enormously from the intimacy of the space, but in a typically plain staging there is no sense of the wintery grip of the usurping Duke's regime being gradually replaced by the sunny warmth of love and a new order. There is little indication that we are in a forest. The 1930s-style costumes set the tone of well-bred glamping rather than any feeling that the Forest of Arden brings about uncomfortable and messy transformation."  ~ Lyn Gardner, Guardian, 27 February 2014, in Theatre Record 2014, Issue 4

"Harriet de Winter's set is undecorated, give or take the odd Art Deco standard lamp set, but with a simple dappled lighting effect we believe that a bare stage is a forest."  ~ Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 21 February 2014, in Theatre Record 2014, Issue 4
