A big story to condense into a 75-minute theatrical event, (but) the challenge is accepted with style & skill by writer/ performer Tayo Aluko, director Olusola Oyeleye & designer Phil Newman.” NEW BLACK MAGAZINE Queen Elizabeth’s Elephant (2011) “I liked Phil Newman’s crooked Tudor house set. Puppetry adds to the show’s humour and charm.” THE STAGE The Riddle of the Sands (2010) “Phil Newman’s design of canvas sails and maritime paraphernalia gives the piece a ramshackle atmosphere and allows for clever business with shadow-play and puppetry” THE TIMES “A suitable murky nautical atmosphere is rounded off very effectively by the deep oranges of the lighting and Phil Newman's canvas-and-rigging set.” REMOTEGOAT.CO.UK “A strong sense of atmosphere is generated by Phil Newman’s intelligent set,” MUSIC OMH The Famous Five (2009) “Brilliant and delightful - an ideal Christmas show. Director Russell Labey and designer Phil Newman move (us) effortlessly and ingeniously from home to island, to castle to haunted shipwreck.” SURREY COMET Coming Up For Air (2008) “On an open transparent set, the drama compels its audience to consider mental health issues. Scenechanging is done by the four performers and - with Phil Newman’s set design - this works elegantly. The frame of Denzil’s cell becomes both a window and the front door to Dr Jules’ lounge...” NEW BLACK MAGAZINE “Interesting use of space. Phil Newman’s set of white frames was highly effective, moving us from confined cell to courtroom to home with such ease, it (was) almost cinematic in nature. The turning of a frame to represent a window, or door frame to change location, (was) simple and clean in this complex world.” AFRIDIZIAK THEATRE The Merchant of Venice (2007) “Designer Phil Newman’s set design, a striking colour scheme of red, black and grey, is impressive, (giving) the actors different levels to play on and several exit and entrance points - no mean achievement for a small portable stage. His costumes are also a credit to Heartbreak.” BBC BRISTOL/bbc.co.uk The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists (2006/7) “The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists makes a powerful social statement and good theatre. Phil Newman’s designs are an appropriately unsentimental brown, beige and grey.” THE STAGE The Taming of the Shrew (2006) “An attractive terracotta & gold set. Designer Phil Newman has innovative ideas, like dressing Katharina initially as a purple/black Goth and Petrucchio in gleaming white sequinned Elvis gear for his wedding.” THE STAGE The Railway Children (2006) “The set design is a carefully-crafted train that becomes the other main areas of action. Clever use of dry ice completes the effect of a steam train arriving at a station.” THE STAGE “Genuine theatre with heart and soul. The stage is the fantastic creation of designer Phil Newman, a steam train recreated & transformed variously into a home, a tunnel, a platform and a host of other unlikely locations.” RUGBY TIMES “It’s worth going for the set alone…” SHEFFIELD STAR Ma Joyce’s Tales from the Parlour (2004) “The fun starts as you enter the small upstairs space at the Oval. Instead of the usual dark floor, there’s a front door mat welcoming you into Ma Joyce’s parlour. And what a parlour! A brilliant set.” THEATREWORLD “A beautifully detailed and nostalgic set.” WHAT’S ON IN LONDON You Don’t Kiss (2003) “The action takes place in a park that represents a combination of the mundane and fantastic, perfectly captured by Phil Newman’s very nearly realistic set.” THE STAGE Hannah & Hanna (2001/2) “Phil Newman’s set is ingeniously adaptable.” EVENING STANDARD “Its simple staging against 3 vivid, window-blind backdrops is beautifully assured and well-crafted.” SCOTSMAN Cloudburst (2001) “Phil Newman’s cloud-shaped stage proves itself a triumph of minimalism.” HAM & HIGH “Inventive…notably Phil Newman’s raised stage from which actors pull props like rabbits from a hat.” TIME OUT No Place Left for Heroes (2001) “The gritty, grimy setting of a 1979 East End boxing gym sits very comfortably in the Union’s converted railway arch. So comfortably that, as you take your seat, you feel as if you’ve entered an arena…” TIME OUT “Phil Newman’s design re-creates the sweaty, peeling feel of a run-down gym in this apposite venue.” -3- EVENING STANDARD -4-
