“Bursting through the darkness of the theatre, Lawrie McLennan’s lighting design makes a stark statement: Scottish Ballet is back” Dominic Corr, Corr Blimey (2021)

This being 1960, the whole thing has the visual aesthetic of 1950s Americana – particularly splendid in the later scene in which tensions between two of the male dancers boil over into a fight that looks like a collision between West Side Story and an Edward Hopper painting” Mark Brown, The Telegraph

“…the lighting by Lawrie McLennan sculpts the stage with a cinematic precision that evokes both Parisian studios and celestial realms” Dominic Corr, Corr Blimey (2026)
