"Impressive Sound Design"
"Tom Lishman's effective and imaginative sound design assists in bringing out the brooding violence"
"The production also benefits from … Tom Lishman's evocative sound design, a battery of effects that includes airplanes, traffic, crowds, prison doors, and various kinds of music."
"The sense of horror swells; Paul Bull and Tom Lishman's sound design fills the air, first with the snicking of the barber's scissors, then with strange gulping, wetly chewing noises and finally with wails of grief."
"Tom Lishman's lush score
of sea murmurs, bird sound and music
establishes a familiar mood of period opulence."
"Special mention should go to Tom Lishman's invaluable sound design, which communicates everything from the subtle rushing of the wind to the deafening sounds (and vibrations) of contemporary warfare."
"Tom Lishman's tropical soundtrack … makes the theatre seem hot."
"A little fake snow and Tom Lishman's clever soundscape – thunder crashes, sinister adult footsteps, the heart-stopping thwunk of Mr Bumble's sceptre and the slow-dripping pipe of Fagin's lair – provided all the special effects required."
