“an abstract and glittering stage of memory, designed by Beowulf Boritt.”
~Christopher Rawson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“Beowulf Boritt's set design is extraordinary … a raised platform with a floor made of coated tiles which are shiny black or transparent, depending on the lighting. Various pieces of antique furniture are positioned in a way to appear to be partially submerged, as if bobbing in water when the water froze into black ice. A back wall of panels is also periodically lit to show items appearing behind the surface. And if you take the time (and you should - during intermission or after the show) to walk around the set, you will see many, many vintage items arranged under the tiles of the floor. “
