"Production starts out promising, with spacious, layered and detailed set design by Wilson Chin, smart period costumes that don't distract by Jessica Ford, and subtle lighting by Chris Lee that evoke a muted world, as if in a fading photograph from the play's time period, spring 1919." – Chris Newbound, Variety "This production is a dream, starting with Wilson Chin's pop-up book set and Jessica Ford's period-perfect costumes." – Paul Lamar, Schenectady Gazette "Director Barry Edelstein has assembled an excellent cast for BSC's take on Violet, and he has also put together a fine production team, anchored by Wilson Chin and his wonderful set design." – Jim White, The Times Union "Wilson Chin has designed an amazing set, a slanted Collier Brothers rabbit warren of a 14th-floor office stacked high (and I mean high) with writer submissions in the first act and machine-produced pages in the second, with moveable wall-to-wall windows overlooking the cavernous streets of corporate New York." – Charles Kondek, The Independent |
