“even the corridors that take you between scenes are
scattered with scary details. A foreboding soundscape from
David Paul Jones stalks at your heels.”
THE WEE REVIEW
“every detail is driven along by a powerful, often menacing score by David Paul Jones, and meticulously delivered by a creative and production team of more than 100 people.”
THE SCOTSMAN
“David Paul Jones’ doomy soundscape is an insistent presence throughout.”
