"...Slowly, the characters' identities become clear; gradually, we're allowed to see the people behind the screen. The simple set beyond it, by Diggle, is an empty reflection of our own full seating risers. The carpet that runs down our aisle runs through the screen and up theirs."

"Brilliantly, Diggle, the scene designer, has created brutalist-concrete walls and white-neon abstractions that evoke Sophocles' rock-hard style and the sun-baked Mediterranean setting - as well as the Arts District's own sharp, bone-dry architecture. Diggle's slabs are as bold and modern as a Louis Kahn masterwork and as primal as an old stone temple...Along with Broken Chord's ominous but restrained underscoring throughout, Diggle's stark designs make this 'Electra' open with a sharp beauty and a chilly awe. The music and the set pieces are the strongest, shrewdest elements of the entire production."

"One of Hackler's former SMU students, Diggle, a rising star in set design, now living in New York City, created the innovative outdoor set for DTC's 'Electra' in April. For this Production, Diggle created a stunning set with a rounded mound of dirt, suggestive of a hilltop, with a chipped bench, surrounded by suspended full-sized tree trunks."
