The technical elements of this brought the production to the next level....incredibly detailed lighting was vital to bring the directorial vision to life and James Goodall did an incredible job of transporting the audience to a fantasy world with his design
The Palatinate

the lighting and technical team provided undoubtedly the best lighting design I have seen all year. The wide range of effects perfectly captured the illusion of blinding lightning flashes, swirling stars, deep blue seas, warm orange campfire glows and deep red hellish pits, filling the scenes with emotion and creating a professional quality of production...totally dazzling

TD/LD - DULOG - The Addams Family - Assembly Rooms Theatre
...an outstanding visual effort. James Goodall’s lighting is spectacular, with the full range of the Assembly Rooms’ capability on display
The Palatinate

The lighting and sound were also extremely impressive, with the moving spots in particular very exciting, adding beautifully to the tumultuous nature of the show. One instance where the strength of the tech really shone through was the representation of the hurricane – which was simply fabulous.
