Press Quotes:
The Collision of Things:
"The lighting design by Joshua Pharo is excellent "
Demi Monde:
"Demi-Monde doesn't need an extensive set; the few props and scenary evoke setting perfectly, completemented by Josh Pharo's exquisite lighting design" British Theatre Guide
Tom's:
"Framing it is the simple, moody, effective lighting. www.the344.co.uk
"against a minimal set, the intelligent use of lighting helps define different scenes" scene.
"Both set and lighting complement each other well to create a creepy atmosphere to the events building up to the tragedy and its aftermaths... The phenomenal first half of the piece may make your imagination go wild as the Thriller-flavored actions intensify - partly thanks to Joshua Pharo's spectacular lighting" http://www.remotegoat.co.uk/review_view.php?uid=6740
