BOYS FROM THE BLACKSTUFF
"Amy Jane Cook’s industrial set, accompanied by Jamie Jenkin’s perennially grey and gloomy video design, captures the environment of austerity, with clever touches such as the dole office queue, which resembles a police line-up, and the gallows-style wooden beams of the court, implying the association between working-class communities and criminality." - londontheatre.co.uk
