Julian Starr’s score is hypnotic and creates dreaminess, but also unease, so that we anticipate an outbreak of violence that never comes.

BEST SOUND DESIGN BY BLUE CURTAINS
THEATRE FOR 2021.
Creative Team:
Director: Heather Fairbairn
Sound Designer & Composer: Julian Starr
Set and Costume Designer: Sarah Winter
Lighting Designer: Christine Felmingham
The music accompanying the play is an important part of it throughout. To start with, all goes dark - a premonition of darker things to come? The music thunders. At times, it was loud enough to feel a little uncomfortable. But it certainly allowed for anticipation and some foreboding. Julian Starr is responsible for sound design and music.
Weekend Notes Reviewer Marina Marangos
Stage Whispers Reviewer Beth Keen
Excellent music by Composer/Sound Designer Julian Starr helped to make this theme palpable.
Blue Curtains Brisbane Reviewer Meredith
Even without knowledge of this structure, there is much anticipation during the required mid-show choreographed set reconstruction, which is only enhanced by Julian Starr’s vivid, atmospheric sound design fevering forebodingly to crescendo.
Theatre Haus Reviewer Oliver Gough
Sound design and composition by Julian Starr is truly foreboding and inventive; from bleak, blared horns to crackling electronic transition pieces and sonic jump scares. With big scores to settle and some dark twists along the way, the wheels of tragedy are set firmly into motion.
