CURRICULUM VITAE

"With this type of play, less is more when it comes to staging. Lyne Paquette's set, which consists of giant curved sheets of parchment, with words scrawled in longhand, is just right. These "pages" serve as cinematic screens ...that enhance the intense dramatic confrontations."
--PAT DONNELLY, Theatre critic, The Gazette, Published: Friday, Nov 14, 2008

"Lyne Paquette's stage design takes full advantage of Geordie Theatre's natural paint-peeling attributes to convey the low-ceiling squalor of That Woman's oppressive dwelling"
--Matt Radz, Theatre critic, The Gazette, Published: Friday, September 22, 2006.

"The 'festival' of new English plays continued last week with two openings: ...both shows reviewed above [including Prodigy--set and costumes by Lyne Paquette] have quite stunning sets and costumes by female designers recently graduated from NTS [National Theatre School]"
--Amy Barratt, Theatre critic, The Montreal Hour, Published: Thursday, April 06, 2006.

"The narrowly intimate setting and postage-stamp stage of the indie scene's mecca on Ste. Catherine St. proved well suited to a poetic chamber piece like Prodigy. A grand piano and a garish bead curtain are the main elements in Lyne Paquette's design, like Huston's minimalist stage prose at once restrained and poetically extravagant."
--Matt Radz, Theatre critic, The Montreal Gazette Published: Tuesday, April 04, 2006.

"Gravy Bath's Rape of Lucrece reminds us of the stuff that theatre is made of. ... The set and props are simple. Three frames, two white curtains and a chair. But the chair is a weapon, a woman, a horse, and the curtains turned- pillars- turned bedposts- turned woman- turned noose show what good (REALLY good) set design is capable of doing Anything more would have been excessive and anything less imaginative wouldn't have been a Gravy Bath Production."
