                                                                         ★★★★

gorgeous sound design by Julian Starr masks the transitions, enabling the flow. The sound also helps subtly drive the undertones of the piece.

                                                BroadwayBaby, Reviewer Richard Beck

                                                                       ★★★

Flick Flick City, Reviewer Felicity Anderson                                                                     

Julian Starr has smashed it out of the park with the sound design, music reverberating through the crowd - encouraging us to whoop and holler through fight scenes

Starr's selection of pop and hip-hop inspired soundscapes which heightened the impressiveness of these scenes.

Julian Starr washes the whole with a booming, self-important, almost conceited soundscape

Lighting Designer: Ben Jacobs

                                                British Theatre Guide, Reviewer Sandra Giorgetti

During scene changes, pacy, atmospheric music (sound design and composition by Julian Starr) hints at a growing urgency

                                                BroadwayBaby, Reviewer Christopher Kelsey

                                                                       ★★★★

Julian Starr did the sound composition but also composed a lot of the music in the play. The added tense music to the clinic scene bought a level of tension that had not been present in the jaunty music we had heard thus far.

London Pub Theatres, Reviewer Saul Reichlin

                                                                                                     ★★★★★

sound design and direction by Julian Starr and Rhiannon Drake, respectively, enhance the mood and the story wonderfully.

                                           The Reviews Hub, Reviewer David Guest

                                                                ★★★★★

the haunting music (the spirit-filled wind of heaven of the play’s title) composed by Julian Starr and Rhiannon Drake – herald angels or the sound of a blessed community opening its hearts and minds?

                                           Church Times, Reviewer Peter Graystone

The simple staging features gorgeous Welsh singing, part of Julian Starr’s rich sound design.
