Quotes from Reviews:
“Jacob Battista’s set design was inventive and utilised the space incredibly well.” – Australian Stage
“The winning design is the surely the best that has been seen at the Alex Theatre to date. Set designer Jacob Battista covers the absence of wing space by embedding featured props within the set. Two wooden frames house a mind-boggling number of pull down blinds to create backgrounds. The entire setting is framed by a comic strip panel running right around the proscenium arch; it even has Schulz’s signature in the bottom corner.” – Simon Parris
“And the staging is in keeping with his art style too: it looks as though to walk on stage would be to walk into the comic strip itself. The sets, courtesy of set designer Jacob Battista, are simple but impressive, making very clever use of frames and staircases to change scenes.” – Theatre Press
