REVIEWS // THE EFFECT

“…Nick Blais’ lighting, set and props are a wonder.”

“The Effect proves itself truly ahead of its time, breaking new ground in mental health representation on stage.”

Mitchell Cushman’s direction and Nick Blais’s prop design are also worth highlighting, with Cushman making excellent use of the Coal Mine’s limited space, including one key sequence in which, with only a slight shift in lighting, we are effectively transported to a whole new location.
