The director evokes neglected contemporary estuary towns in her new version of the coastal tragedy ⭐⭐⭐⭐
In subsequent scenes set by the seashore, gentrified Aldeburgh-style shingle is rejected in favour of a decrepit, detritus-ridden coastal location such as the notoriously deprived Jaywick Sands in Essex .

Banks of lights at the sides, Brechtian signage indicating the acts and interludes, and an aerialist representing first the ghost of the apprentice and finally the body of Grimes settling on the sea floor all evoke a mode of theatricality.
