The stage - 4 stars

"With incredible set design by Laura Willstead, lighting design by Daniella Beattie and sound design by Alex Day, this production has the complete package. Incorporating the whole auditorium, with all its levels, into the escape, including tunnels, ladders and a bike ride (it has to be seen to be believed) and video projections, the audience is completely transported. Dramatic, funny and extraordinarily told." - West end best friend- 4 stars
