“Shaw’s set is stripped-back but effective, with cascading lines of faux flowers for the garden scenes, two pyramids of fairy-lit books in the morning room and sumptuous chaise lounges in the drawing room.”

“What Director Nikolai Foster and Designer Isla Shaw manage to create with this more contemporary and modern feel to the 1895 play is a masterpiece of imagination……The design felt very modernistic with the mirrors surrounding the space, and perfectly rounded off with a single lined finish border that gave it a smart finish. The furniture and costumes were still very much from the 1895 era, giving the impression it was still very much based on that era and that it wasn't lost in the modernistic more contemporary feel that Nikolai and Isla created for the play. It worked perfectly for a audience in the 21st century to enjoy and feel comfortable in.”

“Isla Shaw's mirrored set is the perfect metaphor for the exposed and "nowhere to hide" nature of the script….. The garden set, however, is beautiful with suspended florals and paints the nicest visual image.”

“The set by Isla Shaw is particularly brilliant, literally, with every surface of the one great room mirrored.”

“Designer Isla Shaw eschews the clutter of the era in favour of an unfussy set built from mirrored panels, which provides an efficient conduit to the vanity, decadence and superficiality of Wilde’s world.”
