"The theatricality of this story is also beautifully managed. The set evokes the dry arid landscape and the vision of the fleet in the distance is captured through an exceptional play with light and set design"

Stage Whispers, Patricia Di Risio 20.10.2023

"Rachel Burke’s lighting takes the audience through the course of a sweltering summer’s day, and implicates us when the house lights come up during a chant-like exhortation that the newcomers should care for the land and animals -reminding us of the epic fail, from generation to generation."

Limelight Magazine, Patricia Maunder 19.10.2023

“…Rachel Burke’s lighting brilliantly basks the stage as the pre-dawn temperature rises from 30°C to a 44°C late afternoon before decreasing by just 3°C in the evening."

Australian Arts Review, Paul Selar 20. 10. 2023
