- Mervyn Stutter’s “Pick of the Fringe”
“An exquisite capsule production…
A delightful opportunity to immerse yourself in a spiderweb of natural elements and to contemplate our world through fantastical visual and aural beauty.”
- Everything Theatre
“Part childrens’s bedtime story, and part theater of revelation,
it is a delightful 55 minutes where you follow the story of Spider, Moon and Dew in your own private cinema.”
“You felt immersed in a gentle world of enchantment. This is a Hidden Gem.”
- FringeReview
“Full of exquisitely detailed, surreal and wondrous ideas,”
“Zhang and Lifson’s eye for a simple, gorgeous image has a childlike curiosity and originality.”
- The List
“Zhang and Lifson have the makings of something truly special.”
- The Scotsman
“The entire presentation is very delicate, dreamlike…Timely and delivered in a gentle, quiet way.”
- Theatre Travels
“Quietly profound…
The sensory immersion is brought to life as a series of storylines unfold from behind the wall, poetic and musical,
moving the audience with its visual and audial motion as prismatic hues of light burst forth.”
