"The audience is instantly hurled into the din of the mean dark streets in the Bronx. The wire fence enclosing a street corner suggests a deserted playground where dangerous after-hours games are played." – Alvin Klein, New York Times "Set designer Wilson Chin and lighting designer Torkel Skjaerven provide realistic and shadowy acting spaces for this capable ensemble. There's an empty lot with a chain-link fence, Prix's bedroom and her prison cell– and all seem just right." – Tom Isler, Yale Daily News |
