The Act created by James Blakey. Charlie Damigos and the cast for Company Three
Performed as a scratch in April 2017 at the Yard Theatre “First Drafts Festival”, and as a final show in April 2018 at the Yard Theatre and at the Royal Exchange Studio, Manchester in July 2108
“Company Three’s The Act is just brilliant. The end.” Londontheatre1.com *****
“Charlie Damigos' design is a kaleidoscope of different colours and patterns. So many rails decorate the stage, featuring items of clothing that the company dress each other up in. In doing so they create caricatures to aid in their mini vignettes. It's silly, playful and a lot of fun.” Broadway World UK ****
“Charlie Damigos’ design revolved around the company changing in and out of a kooky mishmash of clothes on hanging rails, which they also incorporated as part of the set. It was colourful, fun and original…” thespyinthestalls.com ****
“Charlie Damigos’ Set Design consists of multiple rails of colourful clothes, which become walls and rooms, as well as a constant revolving wardrobe. As the actors dress up and down, it adds to an ongoing feeling of improvisation that makes this production so interesting.” uppercircle.com *****

".... what works, brilliantly so, is the atmospheric production directed by Fiona Morrell. On a beautifully lit lakeside house - the audience walks through trees to get to their seats - Morrell and designer Charlie Damigos conjure up a mysterious world where reality could, just possibly, merge with myth."
