"…accompanied by an evocative soundtrack by Nicola Chang, time seems almost suspended. It’s a tremendous production, balancing beauty and brutality, and bringing fresh poignancy to Strindberg’s masterpiece."
★★★★★ The Stage on Miss Julie

“Sound is another important factor in For Black Boys… with an inspired use of music interspersing the action. [As] a play where sound and music are a key part, sound designer and composer Nicola T. Chang brings these together remarkably, with sound also working well with the movement to bring characters back into reality.”
★★★★★ All That Dazzles on For Black Boys Who Have Considered Suicide When the Hue Gets Too Heavy
 
"One of the best, perhaps the best, staging of any play I have seen in 2023... The half-dozen strong cast is excellent in every possible respect, as indeed is Nicola T. Chang’s sensitive, well-conceived musical score"
★★★★★ Behind the Arras on The Real and Imagined History of the Elephant Man
 
"A tantalising vocal score (sound design by the prolific Nicola T. Chang) characterised by rich, haunting harmonies that swell, conjuring the gently acknowledged ocean-side location of the play’s world."
★★★★ Evening Standard on The Swell

"(The) impactful sound world created by Nicola T Chang makes us feel that we too drown alongside Jamie, and gasp as she resurfaces for air... How I Learned to Swim is one-person theatre at its greatest."
