"It's no accident that Masked– about three Palestinian brothers being torn apart during the early days of the Intifada– is set in the back of a West Bank butcher shop. Stained with blood and littered with instruments of death, it's an apt symbol of the violence that's permeated the Middle East for so long." – Frank Scheck, New York Post

"Thanks in part to the setting– a bloodstained, dirty-gray-on-dirty-gray butcher shop– the play puts you in mind of Reservoir Dogs." – Jeremy McCarter, New York Magazine

"Masked has a great deal in its favor: a solid script, a fine trio of actors, a grim set that is an ever-present reminder of death." – Laura Collins-Hughes, The New York Sun

"Masked certainly benefits from an extremely effective design package. The set, by Wilson Chin and Ola Maslik, is a fine piece of hyperrealism, with its cement walls, meat hooks, cinder blocks and bloodstains." – David Barbour, Lighting and Sound America

"The claustrophobic abattoir set from Wilson Chin and Aleksandra Maslik magnifies events, acting as though it were a spiritual and political echo chamber." – Matthew Murray, Talkin Broadway
