Cruise

"On the wonderfully grimy, metal set, Holden revives Michael’s story, with Jai Morjaria’s lighting cutting neon strobes through the soft glow of the city streets."

- The Guardian

"...it’s these scenes, where Michael is dancing away his woes, that are most effective and Jai Morjaria’s lighting design excitedly conjures up drugged-up dance floors..."

- The Reviews Hub

"But as if propelled by Jai Morjaria’s adrenalin-fuelled lighting, Cruise pulses with a hedonistic abandon of its own only to emerge out the other side..."

- London Theatre

- British Theatre

Out Of The Dark

"Jai Morjaria's striking lighting design is simple but very effective, with beautifully distorted silver globes hanging from the ceiling. There is also a very clever use of shadows, projected onto the white background in various colours to portray various events and emotions."

- Broadway world

- Sincerely Amy

"...make use of modern and clever lighting to capture the story..." 

- ET Speaks From Home

- Here Comes The Girls Blog

"The down the rabbit hole sequences are cleverly done with the use of music and lights that give it a dreamlike feel"

Tamburlaine The Great

"The lighting, designed by Jai Morjaria, is totally fundamental to the success of Duke’s imagery. The back-lighting, the stark shafts of colour and the silhouettes complete the visual prowess of this production. There is a wonderful visual language devised to express the acts of suicide and execution that relies on the counter-intuitive relationship between white light and death"

- The Absent Reviewer

"This production of Tamburlaine is also visually interesting in other respects: light design by Jai Morjaria and costumes by Rachel Dingle are cleverly integrated and add depth and interpretations to the play."

- West End Wilma

"The technical side of the production are certainly noteworthy, whether it’s the choreography of 15-strong cast on stage, the sound design by Neil McKeown or the light design by Jai Morjaria..."

- Female Arts

- The Plays The Thing UK

 

The Domestic Extremists

"Lighting designer, Jai Morjaria, makes good use of lighting to represent fear and confusion."
