“…Harman's genius is directing this production is that Edward Bloom's stories are bought to live by hospital staff and patients using all manner of medical paraphernalia as props and costumes. Tom Rogers deserves high praise for sets and costumes that allow Bloom's stories to come to life…” British Theatre

“…Nigel Harman’s production has shrewdly abandoned the spectacle that supposedly stifled the Broadway version and presents us with more homespun magic arising, in Tom Rogers’s design, from a hospital bedroom setting…” The Guardian

“…Set and Costume design from Tom Rogers is shrewdly creative, the stories are all being told from a hospital bed, and although we watch flashbacks, the medical theme bleeds in subtly.  There’s a dress made from surgical gloves and the football uniforms are altered nursing scrubs, all of which are punctuated with bold block colour…” Theatre Weekly

“…Nigel Harman directs with panache, with designer Tom Rogers, lighting designer Bruno Poet and projection designer Duncan McLean transforming the tiny stage with flair and invention…” Whatsonstage
