Sunday Herald (Glasgow) 23 January 2003

“The warm amber glow of a desert sunrise bathes the wild west backwater of Deadwood. Set against a beautiful backdrop of craggy hills and rolling clouds, three miniature houses, straight out of the OK Corral, disappear into the distance … The scenes are painted with broad, lavish strokes and lighting is used in the same lush and colourful style.”
EdinburghGuide.com, 21 January 2003

“… outstandingly pretty red-purple sunsets …”
Curtain Up London, 26 June 2003

“Ed Curtis’ production uses minimal staging, setting the scene of Dakota with a simple, effective backdrop expertly lit by James Whiteside.”
