“Natasha Anderson’s sound design, especially the popping light globes and sparks, underscores the fractured reality and shocks”
Bryce Hallett
The Australian 31 March 2008
“Excellent sound by Natasha Anderson punctuates Nevin’s performance with revelatory force, especially when the vortex effect cuts in. This is not a comfortable show, but it is very powerful.”
John McCallum
Stage Noise March 2008
"Composer and sound designer Natasha Anderson adds scenic punctuation that sounds like the rhythmic hiss of high-tech medical equipment, blood rushing in veins, the wind, the ocean (a recurring theme for Didion, a one-time Malibu resident), neuro-surgery, oxygen tubes. Life and death. And all the while, Nevin/Didion tracks the truth, the facts, the causes and contributors to her situation...The Year of Magical Thinking is not so much a play as a testament to the power of laughter, intelligence, courage and love. As such it is one of the most uplifting and, dare I say it, entertaining 90 minutes of Life ever seen on a Sydney stage.
