"The clever constructed plot is played out in just as clever a constructed set​ which uses every corner of the round." Scarborough News

​

"How do you make a farce with no doors? This was the challenge Alan Ayckbourn set himself in 1979 with Taking Steps. His solution: locate the action on three separate floors of one house – and locate all three floors on one level (this explains the, at first peculiar-seeming, jumble of beds and sofas of Kevin Jenkins’s design)"  The Guardian

​

"Kevin Jenkins' period design is but one of the joys of Ayckbourn's delightfully deft drama. ."  York Press
