Only 7 shows left to catch 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗶𝗿𝗱 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀‼️

Come experience the incredible set, lighting, sound and costume design of this dynamic production that reviewers are raving about! ✨

"Waleed Ansari’s set design, interwoven with Arun Srinivasan’s lighting design, make the Tarragon's Extraspace both confiningly small and undeniably alive." - NEXT Magazine (NNNN)

"Waleed Ansari’s dank prison cell, with its hanging bulbs and lumpy cots, creates an immediate sense of claustrophobia (...) Arun Srinivasan’s shadow-soaked lighting deepens the menace, while Niloufar Ziaee’s earth-toned costumes sharpen the characters’ distinct emotional registers. Together, these elements conjure a space so palpable that one can almost sense its stale, airless rot." - Our Theatre Voice
