“Prepare to be astonished by the beauty and greatness of Yentl”
Cameron Woodhead, The Age
“…the production is brought to life – through Dann Barber’s elegant set and costume, Russell Goldsmith’s haunting sound, and the sanctity and profanity of Rachel Burke’s lighting – within an exquisitely designed stage-world that conjures a shadowy hallucination of the time in which Yentl is set.”
Cameron Woodhead, The Age
“Dann Barber’s stunningly simple yet highly atmospheric design is a knockout, evoking the Eastern European shtetl with apparent ease. Rachel Burke’s lovely lighting design complements the effect, creating a world that exists beyond naturalism without tilting into heavy-handed symbolism”
Tim Byrne - Time Out
“Yentl is by far one of the theatrical experiences of the year, a holy and aspirational work that shows us that, far from being the enemy of progress, religion can have a transformative place in our society. The only sin here would be if a single seat remained empty during this short, stunning run.”
Tim Byrne - Time Out
“Dann Barber’s set and Rachel Burke’s lighting beautifully work in sync – a perfect symbiosis that transports the audience to the many worlds that Yentl passes through.”
Gavin Roach - Australian Arts Review
