“Macbeth - Reykjavik City Theatre
...the set and props of the British Milla Clarke are a feast for the senses, and I can hardly remember such a well-executed and technically demanding design…The set is beautiful and stylish. It evokes unspeakable time, where past and future intertwine.”
“There Are No Beginnings - Leeds Playhouse
The design, by Camilla Clarke, and lighting by Amy Mae are sympathetic to the space and evocative of the era without being fussy...
”
“Wind Resistance
The open stage, built inside the Lyceum’s rehearsal studio, provides a study-like set under Camilla Clarke visual design, helping create an intense, intimate feeling of the whole. ”
