Burn This

Adrian Kiernander in his review in The Australian wrote that Jennifer Flowers’ production of Burn This marked a turning point for La Boite – “a move towards full professional status. It’s probably the kind of play we’ll see more of in this small space – a cast of four actors, no expensive effects and a single set.” [i]

While critical of some of the acting, he commented on the noticeable difference professional set and lighting design made to the space which “bode well for the future”. He wrote “The look of the production designed by Bill Haycock and lit by David Walters, for once gives the intimate space a sense of expansiveness.”
