Praise for The Internationalist design:
"The rows of files that line the walls of Tom Scutt's design create an appropriately Kafta-esque atmosphere" Time Out
"...the story itself is lifted several notches higher by Natalie Abrahami's stylish direction coupled with the effect of Tom Scutt's elegant set, which manages to suggest the chic minimalism of anonymous European hotels and bars, and the basement rooms of archive files where it transpires Sara works. The set works brilliantly alongside Ben Pacey's beautifully realised lighting design." CultureWars
" Abrahami’s production, too, is a model of modernist chic. The whole thing is played out on an empty stage, save for a few shiny black box-stools, against Tom Scutt’s pale silhouetting canvas surrounded by files piled from floor to ceiling." What's On Stage
"The designer, Tom Scutt, and the lighting designer, Ben Pacey, use the tininess of the Gate to their advantage, turning the stage into a beautifully lit box – either spotlighting the excellent cast or fading them into silhouettes." The Times
"The slightly nightmareish quality of the piece is enhanced by Tom Scutt’s set design. The walls are lined with shelves stacked floor to ceiling with files, which stretch all the way out into the narrow auditorium." OMH.com
