"A terrific revival" - Michael Riedel, New York Post"
Morgan Large's design is..a masterpiece of delicious kitsch" - THE MAIL
"this is a dream of a production"
"spectacular staging" - MARK SHENTON, LONDON THEATRE
"Morgan Large (who has been carving out a name for himself over the past few years in a succession of wonderfully accomplished projects that started small and have rapidly got larger and larger) is here employed to employ his visual genius on the gargantuan stage of the Palladium. He does so with an intellectual rigour, panache and sense of fun that stimulates all levels of your mind and senses, while remaining – even at its most opulent – as simple and innocent as possible." - BRITISHTHEATRE.COM
"The design sort of builds from nothing; at the start it’s a couple of sheets hung up by the corners to look like sand dunes. By the interval, we’ve got 10ft tall, gold-plated, guitar-playing sphinxes – the power of the children’s imagination" - THE STAGE
"Large treats the stage like a playground for the biggest game of dress-up in the world. And obviously there are the costumes – especially a gorgeously intricate dreamcoat" - THE STAGE
"Their bodies gleam, small and insignificant against the monumental rock in Morgan Large’s superb design"
- Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
"Morgan Large’s set is a revelation" - British Theatre Guide

An interview with The Nottingham Playhouse discussing the design process for Wonderland
Strength of feeling is transmitted by Morgan Large's design and Paul Keogan's lighting which flushes colourful warmth into clinic whiteness. Glass screens, wheeled around the stage like transparent, elongated hospital trolleys, divide mother and son, sister from sister. They close in on the woman who, wine bottle in hand, is struggling with childhood memories. They make smudgy silhouettes of people standing behind them, who seem to have vaporised into ghosts - The Observer
A stark and simple set of identical moving frosted panels is used (along with clever lighting) to create many different environments: a hospice, nightclub, London flat, a taxi cab. The illusion is remarkable and engrossing - The Telegraph
Morgan Large and lighting designer Paul Keogan - a series of light boxes that spin round as the actors each tell their stories - provides the perfect claustrophobic backdrop for their tales. - Liverpool Echo

"Beautifully designed by Morgan Large" - Mark Shenton
"Morgan Large’s pared-back designs whisk us efficiently through a variety of dark, lowering locales." - Fiona Montford , Evening Standard
"Southerland’s production is as strong as his reputation now demands...a set with sliding panels that allows characters to come on and off unnoticed, the 19th century really comes alive in this production; it’s all gothic chill and thick mist." - Tim Bano, The Stage

"The action has been updated to the 1980s and takes place in a luxurious bedroom complete with four-poster bed. This is created in a characteristically American style by scenic designer Morgan Large" - Phillip Fisher, British Theatre Guide.

“In Morgan Large's striking design, it unfolds fluently on the thrust stage which has become an octagonal, geometrically tiled piazza, with the characters emerging through the double doors of a monumental city wall.” - Paul Taylor, Independent
“Daniel Evans is particularly well served by his designers, with Morgan Large providing an imposing stone-covered piazza on an octagonal stage that has the facade of a building behind it, and Lucy Carter’s lighting.” Mark Shenton, The Stage.
