reviews:

"I very much enjoyed this performance, it was thoughtful, beautifully designed... The use of physical theatre added thoughtfully to the symbolism of the play, particularly the shadow play with reaching for the star, and the moments of shadows behind the screen as well. I felt this was an excellent production, with a real vision and beautifully, clean aesthetic. It would be worth taking forward and you have clearly developed a strong ensemble commitment between your cast members. I thoroughly enjoyed the performance and greatly appreciated the opportunity to see something that made me think so deeply."

"I count myself as extremely privileged to get a first viewing of this heart-stopping show and I can't recommend it enough.

The play itself is already rich with emotional complexity, but Sean and Jenny's bold honesty and sheer talent just takes your... breath away!
And can I mention the aesthetics? Their use of projections and lighting take you somewhere else, whether that's Singapore or not you'll have to see for yourselves.. See this, because it made me an emotional wreck."

- Eloise Baker, Drama and Dance graduate from Royal Holloway University

"The Optic Trilogy freezes real-time, painting the stage with squares of dark and light... To act blind requires the process of taking away and Jenny Collins, under the direction of Rebecca Goh, does this beautifully and with such humanity. The director's cleverly created subtleties and brave staging choices are upheld by the performers' clinical commitment to character and impressive acting ability."

- Hamza Ali, actor and director at Royal Holloway University
