Critique Matt complained that none of the reviews (or the photographs) gave sufficient weight to the set. Kevin therefore offered the following as the ideal review...

Fantastic set, however I felt at times the actors blocked the view of it... maybe think of having the actors kneel in future. Amazing lighting, at times you even believed the actors were not there. The sound plot was inspired only spoiled by the actors talking over it. Scene changes were slick, but I just wanted them to go on longer (12 minutes is far to short), I especially liked the characterisation of 'scene shifter #3', his balance of vulnerability and asthma was perfect. If I had to criticise at all, I would say that the techies blacks were not quite black enough (wardrobe please note!)... Oh and there were some actors as well.
