“They also benefit from some cunning stagecraft, particularly Beowulf Boritt’s set and Wilberth Gonzalez’s costumes — which look deliberately slapdash but reveal a surprising level of wit and sophistication. (At one point, a downstage trap opens to allow a performer wearing a glowing spiky hat to wordlessly play a campfire.)” ~Thom Geier, Culture Sauce
“The octet runs like hamsters on a wheel on Beowulf Boritt’s cabin set covered in kitschy cutouts. Think Big Ben hand-drawn in Crayola.”
~ Johnny Oleksinski, NY Post
“a swell Beowulf Boritt set.”
~David Finkle, NY Stage Review
