“Set designer Beowulf Boritt fills the small space in his customarily engaging manner.”
~Steven Suskin, Variety
“The action unfolds on Beowulf Boritt's futuristic set. Prominent in his intelligent design is a gateway shaped like an eye (of God, presumably) and lollipop lamps that serve as trees.”
~ Joe Dziemianowicz, Daily News
“Amusing scenery by Beowulf Boritt — the Tree of Life is partly a lava lamp.”
~Michael Sommers, NJNewsroom.com
“The production benefits from an unusually inventive production design. Beowulf Boritt's setting -- with its raised, revolving deck (complete with rollout lawn), set against a series of curved portals and backed by a tracking white disk -- makes for a most elegant environment. (It looks uncannily like an eye.) Other kicky touches include a Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil that is part lava lamp, and a series of lighting units --made of colored plastic water bottles affixed to small white globes -- that alternatively suggest the cosmos and the interior of a discotheque circa 1969.”
~David Barbour, Lighting & Sound America
“Beowulf Boritt has worked his usual magic with a simple yet sophisticated set design. A revolving square of artificial turf represents Eden.”
~Jennifer Farrar, AP
