    “The set (Isla Shaw) is designed very much like a cartoon strip, convincing enough to catch some of the younger members of the audience by surprise when the stage lights actually lit up, or when a door was used as a door.”

  • East Midlands Theatre

    “This roller-coaster of a story is held together by the very beautifully illustrated set designed by Isla Shaw – based on Dr Seuss’ own artworks but produced in 3D and alive with its own secrets.”

  • All Edinburgh Theatre

    “Isla Shaw really has done an inspiring job on the costumes and the set which mirrors a cartoon strip with lots of surprising moving parts and lights.”

  • Bum on a Seat

    Isla Shaw’s remarkable set (part illustration, part practical) is put to extensive use to support the storytelling and the physicality of the shenanigans.  The costumes are delightful, capturing the spirit of Seuss’s original drawings.”
