Production Design
“The sound and lighting is top-notch and the magnificent sets provide the perfect backdrop for woking ‘n’ rolling” The Stage
“…The set design was magnificent. Capitalising on the Chinese theme, there is a rotating palace, a trap door and moving dragons. The attention to detail is breathtaking, and the entire set has been fastidiously designed, down to the last light.” Love Midlands Theatre
“…a spectacle of live music, glitzy costumes and dazzling sets during a spectacular two-hour show at the Eastgate Street venue.” Express and Star

Adapting our previous build of a 6m dragon as Smaug for The Hobbit, designed by Barney George.
…The dragon is a brilliant feat of theatre engineering, his movements are fluid and real, and it is a wonderful scene. Click here to read the rest of The Lancaster Guardian Review
…We had wondered how the Duke’s would bring a terrifying dragon to life but having seen previous plays we knew they would come up with something impressive. We were right, the dragon was fantastic and moved incredibly well considering its size and this scene was my favourite of the evening. Click here to read the rest of The Whatsgoodtodo.co.uk Review

…costumes by designer Foxton are worthy of a catwalk show on their own, especially the headless knight and the map of the world. Click here to read the rest of the review by Yorkpress

Puppets, headdresses and Polystyrene Carved Animals
The design of the animals was so clever and subtle, the two birds were complete hand puppets, the tortoise was dressed like an American soldier with a tin helmet and a backpack as its shell, the asses and the zebra had wire heads, the cygnet’s head was also a hand puppet, but the actress’s arm became the neck and the elephant’s trunk was also an arm.

Giant Puppet Maker
“…the Mercury’s zombie-fied giant, handled masterfully by Lyndi Smith, would certainly gain the Danny Boyle thumbs-up.”
Click here to see the rest of the review from ‘The Stage’
“The Giant is memorably done – first as an ominous disembodied voice, then speaking through the mouth of others, and finally appearing as a huge, spectacularly spooky puppet”
Click here to see the rest of the review from ‘The Public Reviews’
Every Jack and the Beanstalk tale has a giant, and the giant in this performance didn’t disappoint. Fantastically created and brought to life by the talented Lyndi Smith, this ogre was certainly scary.
