All this is played out on William Fricker’s magnificent set.

William Fricker's elegantly economical but highly effective set design picks-up on the mirror element in the storyline, and is dominated by outline shapes of rectangles and ovals, a pair of staircases and a zebra patterned floor that introduces a sense of movement as well as an air of mystery.
But the set is also carefully designed to show off some inventive costumes, not least of which are some glittering creations decorated with what look like shards from a broken mirror.
