The Crystal Egg

“The stage craft here is beautiful as the Egg, although simple, is incredibly effective as it glows from the inside and creates a luminous spectacle that fills the dark stage; richly atmospheric lighting from Simeon Miller…our view into the Martian world of the Egg that is created by projection and reflected onto the back wall of the Cave’s shop and intrudes into the simple landscape paintings on the wall; turning them into an unknown world that churns fire and steel.” - Diana Graveney for Scatter of Opinion

“But it is Miller’s lighting that elevates The Crystal Egg, an understated series of background glows that hint at the presence of something otherworldly. We sit in a beautifully crafted Victorian curiosity shop but are transported past the confines of reality, as we all stare into a luminescent beauty that shines out from the egg. Miller’s design draws us in, exactly as the alien technology twists and warps the perspective of its owner and his uncle, Mr Cave (Mark Parsons). We fixate on the light that dances across the cavernous walls of The Vaults, staring harder and harder to define the multitude of colours within.” - Daniel Perks for Miro Magazine
