Battersea Arts Centre, January 2016: "While there are no spoken words, technology abounds to tell us a very unsettling story. The main selling point of Light is it’s exceptionally clever lighting, designed by Matthew Leventhall. In a pitch black auditorium, the cast of 5 use a mix of LED torches and bars to light each little vignette accordingly. There are hints of film noir, with side and back lighting sketching out silhouettes in the gloom, and novel usage of movement to suggest hurtling up or down in a lift. There is also searing brightness as lights are periodically swung round to the audience, leaving a cumulative criss-cross of imprints on your retinas."
