Garance Marneur

" "The design of this production is also a triumph. Garance Marneur litters the set with chairs, suspended from the ceiling with ropes and pulleys, which the couple pull down to fill what becomes their arena, their circus ring. David Holmes' lighting and Tom Gibbons' sound design complete the transformation of the set from what is at first a bleak industrial neglect, into the magical playground of the couple's troubled mind." "

The British Theatre Guide

" "the unruly energy and alluring grace that those chairs have, hanging above the couple in Garance Marneur's design, rendering the absurd rather moving, and haunting, too." "

The Guardian

" "A circle of jumbled chairs hanging above the stage caught the eye immediately. It is an innovative representation of the cycle of repetition the old man and old woman in Eugene Ionesco's play are trapped within. [...] Garance Marneur's set design and David Holmes' lighting, were important factors in this accomplished production." "

Gazette & Herald

" "As they convert their bare room into a bubbling, if imaginary, party scene Garance Marneur's splendid set bacomes a magical fairground." "
