The genius over-the-top production design by David Hindle and Christian Huband is cinematic eye-candy packed to the brim with colour and detail, from the garishly tacky interior of the Wormwood home to the dark shabby prison panopticon of Trunchbull’s Crunchem.

“Matilda’s home looks like it’s been decorated by new romantics on steroids. Sumptuous production design by Christian Huband and David Hindle.”

“The circus scenes are dazzling: production designers David Hindle and Christian Huband have seized every opportunity to run riot.”

David Hindle and Christian Huband’s production design is detailed and there’s great juxtaposition of Matilda’s colourful, over-the-top home and the dreary, almost gothic hallways of Crunchem Hall.”

“The attention to detail is second-to-none and the scenes are visually propulsive as the songs they accompany.”
