Reviews

• Gareth did the lighting design for Endgame in 2008, and created an amazing atmosphere and visual feast of greys, which truly enhanced the play.

Some years ago, he designed the lighting for Ron Sales' production of Waiting for Godot, both here and in Ireland, complete with a memorable moon, and effects skilfully adapted for a variety of venues.

In my opinion, Gareth is the most talented and creative lighting designer that we have, (among many other talented people), and should be treasured. Once seen, his designs are not forgotten. I'm looking forward to seeing his work on The Actor's Nightmare.<ref>http://www.southlondontheatre.co.uk/phpBB/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=10795&forum=2&start=30</ref>
