Acknowledgement must also be given to Dickie’s one bit of support from Martin Langthorne’s touching lighting design, a man who knows the true power of a blackout and faded lighting. Langthorne’s lighting design brings warmth to the show whilst encased in darkness: we don’t see Dickie dancing and gliding around a small black-boxed room at Camden People’s Theatre, but dancing on a dark night under lampposts on a suburban street. Watching Dickie dashing and darting in and out of the sheer darkness and carefully placed ambient lighting was in itself a beautiful image to watch. Not only is this piece powerful, but also the beauty and aesthetics of the stage combined with Dickie’s fluid and jarring movements are truly mesmerising and hypnotic
