EXCERPTS FROM VARIOUS REVIEWS THAT MENTION CHLOE LAMFORD'S DESIGNS
The Cunning Little Vixen
(Britten Theatre, Royal College of Music)
"Exquisitely designed"
Anna Picard THE INDEPENDENT 06.07.08
"The costumes were all entrancing"
Michael Tanner THE SPECTATOR 09.07.08
The Mother Ship
(Birmingham Rep)
"The most wholly successful element in this production, commissioned for the Rep's annual community tour, is Chloe Lamford's stylish sky-map set."
BIRMINGHAM POST
Mar 11 2008 By Terry Grimley
"Ben Payne's production is a playfully inventive delight which, on Chloe Lamford's expansive set, dominated by a map of the cosmos, allows Maxwell's script free rein."
THE HERALD
March 27 2008 Neil Cooper
Small Miracle
(Tricycle Theatre)
"Chloe Lamford's delightful set captures this unsettling mood perfectly with half a caravan protruding out from a picture postcard background coloured in the hyper-real, lurid palette of the shrine's tacky souvenirs."
Alice Jones THE INDEPENDENT 21.06.07
"Chloe Lamford's clever set, which sees the back end of a real caravan protrude from its picture-postcard representation"
Fiona Mountford EVENING STANDARD 20.06.07
"a sparky production for the Mercury Theatre Company on a witty set by Chloe Lamford that incorporates half a real caravan"
Charles Spencer THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, 21.06.07
"Chloe Lamford’s clever picture-postcard set"
Sam Marlow THE TIMES, 22.06.07
Antigone at Hell’s Mouth
(Soho Theatre)
“Thanks to Chloe Lamford’s effective, uncluttered design, the moment when Gonnietta lovingly lays out Throttle’s bones by the light of flaming flares is one of charged emotion”
Fiona Mountford, Evening Standard, 16 08 05
“Chloe Lamford’s stony set suggests both the play’s classical origins and the rocky Cornish coastline.”
“…Eerily stunning”
Sam Marlowe, The Times, 18 08 05
“The design by Chloe Lamford is remarkable. The background reflects the austere beauty of Cornwall's cliffs with skeletal outlines of the birds who represent the threat to Johnny's body.”
Charlotte Loveridge, www.curtainup.com, 16 08 05
Silence
(National Youth Theatre,
Wilton's Music Hall)
" a design scheme that complements the atmospheric decay of Wilton's"
"Designer Chloe Lamford impresses early on by allowing Roger the priest - Buffini has obviously watched Monty Python in her time - to conjure up a large red neon crucifix in the air. Her cleverest move, however, is to elevate a portion of the tilted stage like an ad hoc flying carpet, to serve as the getaway carriage for Silence's ragtag crew as they embark on a perilous, king defying road trip up north."
Fiona Mountford, EVENING STANDARD, 22.08.07
