Hannah Bracegirdle’s sound design is as close to perfect as it is humanly possible to be, capturing various outside noises in a way that seemed very realistic, and never overpowering.
A YOUNGISH PERSPECTIVE
“a small story told with sincerity, humour, and real heart.”
THE CHISWICK CALENDER
Hannah Bracegirdle’s excellent sound design adds depth and texture, in particular in the tornado scene and its aftermath.
This play was the ultimate challenge of realism. A cow falling through the roof proved a challenge to do in the most serious light but I had a blast. Great team and a fantastic script! Jumping off the page with heart and a real family dynamic.
