“The tireless and talented Amelia Jane Hankin has designed this pitch brilliantly. Bordered on one side by a ghastly, ankle-threatening stretch of early-Eighties ironwork painted an infantilising council scarlet, Hankin’s set draws the Holloway Theatre space around itself.” Kim Provise

“On Amelia Jane Hankin’s beautifully evoked set, with a low brick wall one side, and railings the other, they dream of being scouted, of achieving their dreams to play football professionally.” Whats On Stage

“It’s so beautifully crafted – empathetically acted, deftly directed by Daniel Bailey and with a lovely football court set by Amelia Jane Hankin.” Time Out

“Credit must go to designer Amelia Jane Hankin’s set for subtly illustrating the pitch’s long history. The players superstitiously double-tap the right knob of the railing every time they enter or leave the pitch, and while this time-hallowed ritual is never explicitly referenced, it’s visible through the knob's worn paint. Elsewhere, a faded dark patch on a wall, we learn, is a blood stain from an infamous fight the boys suspect will stay with those involved for ever.” Culture Whisper

“Though the production is not explicitly set in Lindqvist’s native Sweden, there’s a Scandinavian coolness to Amelia Jane Hankin’s design. With just a few clever lighting tricks, its pale blue and grey tiles transform from school gym to playground, from frozen lake to swimming pool.” The Guardian

“Amelia Jane Hankin’s dynamic set design, with a stripes and slats theme, transports us from airport to plane – where we become fellow passengers – and on to Grandad’s veranda. Ola Ince’s pacy production, for audiences aged three to six, opens with a dialogue-free sequence before exploding with cartoonish flourishes and zany ear-popping effects (sound design by Ed Lewis).” The Guardian

“There’s a whole world in Amelia Jane Hankin’s ever-changing set. The central structure is a jungle gym, recognisable from almost every primary-school playground. A bold logo painted on a fabric backdrop turns it into an airport. Open the curtains and it’s Grandpa’s bright veranda, with an upstairs bedroom for little Elias. Two banners painted with fruit and veg hang at opposite ends of the frame and the space is transformed again, into Mo-Bay Market.” The Stage

“AJH’s set design is deliciously eloquent - it’s faded court markings on mottled concrete, framed by rusty fences and graffiti-strewn, stained walls, perfectly set the scene” The Stage

“AJH’s unfussy but effective design has the actors weaving in and out of large metal poles that divide the circular risen stage area, it is a clever choice. The poles are sometimes used as props, and the curve of them echoes a rope or a fishing net, making the space around the characters as divided as their mental states.” The Guardian

“AJH’s set is an ominous, steaming, 10 foot tall cube. Good Dog charts an everyman tale of fading dreams, crumbling faith and straining patience against the back drop of a community struggling with infidelity, drugs and crime. It is compellingly vital theatre'.” The Stage
