'It’s a cliché to describe a fictional setting as a character in its own right, but the domineering effect of the pub on Heart Wall cannot be ignored. Hazel Low’s eye-catching design – certainly the most inventive use of the Bush’s main space that I’ve seen in years – is all in the details. You can feel the history spilled and squished into the red carpet. When Dez grumbles about a hole in the roof, water leaks from the Bush’s ceiling: drip, drip, drip. One by one, the panels of the wooden floor are disassembled for the water to fall through. A metaphor, if ever there was one.'
