“The task was to 'get back to what we had before'. Napier went back to his original plans, raided the RSC for props and furniture and tried to figure out a way to make his set more portable, without losing it's heavy, primitive, lashed-together look.”

Nicholas Nickleby Review

John Napier's set design for this revival (from his original design with Demot Hayes ) is an astounding complex of wooden walkways and a central bridge tacked together with iron gates and grillwork that wraps its way around the theatre and into the audience.
