""The best design does not have evident designs on its audience... Tomas Palmer's design scarcely seems arranged: it is simply a place in which things happen.""
""Milli Bhatia's productions are fuelled by the rapidity with which conversation is spat out and scenes scud into each other... a dark secret, which pounces on him in mysterious blackouts, moves the plot from light comedy to shock.""
The article reflects on the evolution of the author's perspective on stage design, notably influenced by a past experience on a judging panel. It highlights the minimalist yet impactful design of Tomas Palmer in the play Speed, which serves merely as a backdrop for the action. The narrative unfolds around three British South Asian characters at a speed awareness course, led by a troubled young man. Directed by Milli Bhatia, the production's rapid dialogue and layered themes illustrate a striking transformation from comedy to a deeper, more shocking narrative.
