Highlights

Fi Russell (Set Artist / Designer)
Ben has lit three shows for which I have designed the set; Oscar's World at the Stag, A Peddler's Tale and Hydriotaphia at the Linbury Studio LAMDA. He is a sensitive lighting designer with an eye for subtlety that really adds to the mood of a piece. It has been a pleasure working with him and I hope to do so again in the future.
