Rose Revitt’s ingenious, in-the-round staging, which conceals props and – most strikingly – opens up to reveal a mermaid lagoon in the form of an illuminated ball pit and seamlessly coordinated flying sequences achieved via hanging silks and swinging ropes.
— The Stage ★★★★
Economy of means becomes an asset in a show with playfulness at its heart. To turn a wooden spoon into a razor-sharp weapon, you only have to believe – just as belief keeps Tinkerbell alive. Designer Rose Revitt allows similar creative freedom with her bare-bones set, although she also surprises us with a concealed ball-pool that bubbles like the sea.
— The Guardian ★★★★
