REVIEWS

★★★★
"A giddy hour of children’s entertainment that is just similar enough to a video game or a YouTube Kids video to hold their attention, thanks to the work of video designers/animators Craig Wilkinson and Jake Lodder."
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

"LThe clever, peach-shaped set allows the cast to pop in and out of windows and interact with the moving projections that use Jon Weber’s illustrations – Weber’s work evokes Dahl’s favourite collaborator, Quentin Blake. It’s a true feat of coordination that the images and the actors’ movements align perfectly."
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD


"A marvellous visual feast of imagery that is as clever as it is effective
in bringing this epic story to life"
ARTSHUB

"Layered staging with a central curved walkway imaginatively utilises a diverse range of projected imagery and backcloths, often enhanced with animated figures. This extraordinary work by video designer and programmer, Craig Wilkinson, produces a non-stop vista of images"
