"The set creates an atmosphere full of intrigue; grey concrete slabs dominate the stage and portray the grim quality of the accommodation and society extremely well. There are some delightful specific geographical references to Melbourne, although the minor allusion to commission housing could have been developed as a way of emphasising the political edge of the original text. The set is designed with some interesting elements of colour and a good versatility with its use of space. Both the large outdoor areas and the cramped quality of indoor areas are effectively portrayed. Details such as neon lighting and communal gardens add some valuable and important detail."
