quote: "The set for Skylight allowed not only a heightened realism to be established, but also was essential for creating a physical contrast within the play. Upon entering the theatre, the set immediately catches one’s eye. The detail and meticulous nature in which the props have been placed was a factor in favour of the production, and Joe Strickland, as set designer, did an exceptional job. "
