'Limehouse Nights' was a play devised by Kandinsky Theatre Company. It was staged in the old Limehouse Town Hall and the design responded to this unique setting. The whole building transported the audience to the run-down back streets of Limehouse in 1918. The set was created almost entirely from pallets, crates, tea-chests and other dock-yard paraphernalia. "Designer Amy Cook makes terrific use of the crumbling grandeur of the old Limehouse town hall" - Lyn Gardner, The Guardian
