I AM A MIRACLE | MALTHOUSE THEATRE

"Marg Horwell and Paul Jackson’s set is both minimal and monumental: there are chairs strewn on and around a black revolving platform with a section of wall to suggest interior space, and the vast curtain that covers the whole of the back of the stage is used brilliantly in the transitions between the first and second scenes, and for the finale. Jackson’s lighting design harasses the actors with jittering fluorescence and drenches the back curtain in red to match the jail clothing and finally confronts the spectators as well." - Daily Review

MEOW MEOW'S THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL | MALTHOUSE THEATRE

"For a show centring on the play of light and shadow, lighting designer Paul Jackson must be commended. Plunged into darkness after only a few minutes on stage, the performance relies on a series of phosphoric flares created with found light sources: from torches and sparklers to bicycle-powered stage lights and surrendered mobile phones." - Time Out Sydney
"The lighting design, by Paul Jackson, is consistently ingenious – at one point, our heroine harvests audience members' mobile phones for use as light sources." - Time Out London
