“The Forsyte Saga Parts 1 and 2 - Park Theatre
Yates’s beautifully detailed costumes wire the action into character and epoch. The ties alone tell a story... These rare touches of colour and texture light up the spareness of a first-rate production that ingeniously embodies Galsworthy’s stand against materialism.”

“Pimpinone - Linbury Theatre RBO
Staging is handled with flair and wit. The use of costumes — especially Vespetta’s maid’s outfit that transforms into a wedding dress — cleverly signals shifts in identity. The set is dynamic, with quick changes executed smoothly”

“Abigail’s Party - Northen Stage, Tour
Anna Yates’ set is beautifully soaked in the decade’s home furnishing trappings from the sprawling white shagpile upwards.”

“Totentanz - Shotput Theatre
There isn’t an element at play which isn’t structured to a beautifully nuanced level of collaboration, immersion and balance... Totentanz aligns its tightly orchestrated music, set and costume (magnificently designed by Anna Yates) ... to tie everything together.”
