Review Quotes for Moliere by Mikhail Bulgakov
The Finborough Theatre 24/11/2009 – 19/12/2009

‘I do admire the ingenious way in which Blanche McIntyre, the director, and her designer Alex Marker create the numerous settings in palace and church, on stage at Molière’s theatre and in various dressing-rooms. To suggest grandeur by little more than an ornate chair is impressive, likewise conjuring up terror by two hooded friars’.
Jeremy Kingston – The Times

‘No London theatre achieves more with less than the Finborough in Earl’s Court. This tiny, scruffy room tucked above a now sadly deserted brasserie is a constant wonder of design and inventiveness and has suddenly, thanks to resident designer Alex Marker, been resourcefully transformed into a perfect miniature gilt-edged court theatre in 17th-century France. It also visits, in the space of two fast hours, the rooms of King Louis XIV at Versailles, the home of playwright Moliere, a church and a cathedral.’
