"With a charming set by Wilson Chin (and lighting by Charlie Morrison) – a quaint urban patchwork of balconied, two-story dwellings, marked with graffiti, plastered with barely legible flyers and strung with colorful clotheslines – this Comedy rocks to a contemporary Mediterranean-Latin-North African beat that resists grounding in any single culture, or even continent." – Naomi Siegel, New York Times "Wilson Chin's fanciful set design offers a village square topped by colored banners and clothes lines, wth hot dog, balloon and newspaper vendors populating the dead-end row of comic book tenements." – Robert L. Daniels, Variety "Above the ado in set designer Wilson Chin's amusing evocation of a Greek agora are clothes lines, decorative flags, and strands of colored lights strung from building to building. The town's old walls have remnants of partially stripped away posters, and the side-by-side homes and shops have just the expected number of doors ready for quick access." – Simon Saltzman, Curtain Up |
