Designer's notes
Sherry Coenen’s lighting is simple and playful, engaging the audience and inviting them into the narrative.

Atmospheric lighting also helps to make the production feel edgy, and compelling.

Electra’s throbbing soundtrack is accompanied by an equally pulsating lighting design by Sherry Coenen, which incorporates both the strip lights that make up the bulk of the set and the little table lamps that are dotted around the auditorium. The overall picture is evocative, and when the lighting works in tandem with the music, like in the scene where Orestes consults the oracle, the effect is absolutely fab

David Hewson effortlessly weaves composition into the show, as natural and effective as Sherry Coenen’s subtle lighting shifts.
Daniel Perks, Miro Magazine 08/03/2018

The live music effectively creates atmosphere and develops tonal shifts – the lighting by Sherry Coenen is similarly well designed.
Alice Carlill, Theatre Full Stop 07/03/2018

commendable work from lighting designer Sherry Coenen,

Sherry Coenen’s excellent lighting is a meeting of cold blue fluorescence one end of the stage and earthy oranges on the other

Sherry Coenen’s lighting design works perfectly with this setup, the strip lights providing much of the atmosphere (the bloody red that symbolises death is especially striking) – and there’s an intriguing touch as some table lamps set amongst the audience light up at various stages.
