' Fiammetta Horvat’s set is essentially a blank page: a canopied stage-space washed in white. As the day draws on, vegetation flourishes throughout the set and Wort whips off her white coat to reveal a grass-green dress. Little flashes of orange burst through the costume.'

'Fiammetta Horvat’s white set slowly reveals its secrets from pockets and places around the stage, until it is filled with a rainbow.

Horvat’s clever set and Wort’s performance creates a production that is profoundly simple but not simplistic.'

'The theme is colour and the very clever and simple stage set comes to life showing the audience all the colours that the owl sees...'

'Fiammetta Horvat’s set and costume are full of secret caches from which coloured cloths and ribbons can be extracted, a bolt of sky blue fabric flows across the stage, leaf-covered branches sprout, flowers blossom on a frock to operatic accompaniment, butterflies flutter forth and settle. A gauzy bundle is a cloud floating in the sky and then a fish, a swan, a gull. A plastic bag is moulded into the face of a hungry storm cloud gobbling up everything. '

'Lizzie Wort, resplendent in a variety of gowns of many colours, designed by Fiammetta Horvat to work as part of the set...'
