"The set of Rough Magic is most appropriate for a saga of ancient, magical powers pitted against modern wit: The floor is a representation of a contemporary New York City subway map; the backdrop, a projection of Henry Fuseli’s famous painting The Tempest, which depicts Miranda, Prospero, Ariel, and Caliban."

– Maya Rao, Ithaca Journal

"There is plenty to be done on the excellent set from designer Wilson Chin, with its multiple levels and painted backdrop of The Tempest a constant reminder of this play's roots."

– David Cameron, Ithaca Journal

"Wilson Chin's scenic design both encapsulates the New York experience and the mythic underpinnings of the tale."

– Chuck Klaus, Syracuse Post-Standard

"Wilson Chin's set grounds us with a floor that's a New York subway map, fringed by fine white sand that Prospero's dark gown trails suggestively across the stage. At the rear, seaside sedges flank a wooden bridge suggesting multiple places, from the Statue of Liberty to enchanted forests. And behind all, a huge creation mural of Prospero and his progeny."
