A Matter of Life and Death New Vic TheatreAdapted from the film by Powell and Pressburger by Theresa Heskins"Powell and Pressburger's film presents its scenes in the afterlife in luminous monochrome, while life on earth is depicted in glorious Technicolor. Heskins' production pulls off a similar contrasting trick, with its earthbound scenes presented in vivid colour and the residents of the afterlife dressed entirely in white, strikingly achieved with designer Laura McEwen's period costumes and Alexandra Stafford's crisply delineated lighting effects." The Stage review 4*
