Wyndham’s Theatre, London
“The action may be confined to a small space and two actors at a time, but the world about which they argue is constantly present. Paul Arditti's soundscape dextrously enhances this effect. He creates a weave of noise rare in the theatre, made of the small sounds familiar to anyone who has lain awake at night in a city: a dog barking, an engine starting, a crying baby.” The Observer
“Bob Crowley’s set and Paul Arditti’s sound design sustain an impeccable double focus on the worlds within and beyond that apartment.” The New York Times
