"In Beowulf Boritt's effective set, a massive wall of earth and stone blocks out half the blue sky; it soon becomes an emblem of the formidable wall that the brothers have built between their deepest feelings and each other."

~John Lahr, The New Yorker


"Beowulf Boritt's sylvan sets, which include a miniature golf course, have a sunny, Never-Never Land quality."

~Ben Brantley, the New York Times


"Beowulf Boritt's cartoonish set of cheery green lawns and crisp blue skies -- the innocuous America so tirelessly upended by this playwright to reveal the ugliness and deception beneath the surface."

~David Rooney, Daily Variety
