Reviews:

For THE SNOW QUEEN - English National Ballet

"It glistens deliciously like a jeweller's shop - rich, white costumes dazzling strewn with crystals, snowy baldaquins and wolfmen with bushy tails." Daily Telegraph

 

For A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM - at Theatr Clwyd

“...From the moment a cascade of leaves carpets the stage and turns a plain set into a haunted forest, the magic begins......Director Tim Baker and designer Mark Bailey have done an outstanding job.....”

“....Mark Bailey’s set is vast and clutter-free, the only visible structure being a simple, plain series of portals. The whole scene changes miraculously and in truly stunning fashion from an Athenian palace to an enchanted woodland – a feat achieved by the descent of thousands of ‘leaves’ which cover the stage.....”
