  • The Guardian

    "Isla Shaw’s set – dominated by the looming tree from which the first body hangs – begins to crackle with fire, mirroring little steps of change in the girls’ minds.”

  • The Stage

    ****  “Pink Sari Revolution - The play spares no detail and pulls no punches. The strong-branched tree that dominates the set is gallows material.”

  • British Theatre Guide

    Pink Sari Revolution - Action is centred around a tree, centre stage, its roots thrusting out of the ground symbolising the dislodging effect Sampat has on society and its established norms. Isla Shaw’s set design is effective and functional, complemented by Tim Lutkin’s lighting design which frames several stunning set pieces: the unfurling of shocking pink saris as banners to the cause, the chilling tableau of a woman hanging from a tree, a damning indictment of her community."
