“Beowulf Boritt's imaginative set design focuses primarily on a toxic waste dump structured out of a mountain of barrels that shift aside to view Sarah's apartment and the mayor's office. The latter offers a wall covered with pics of past U.S. presidents, topped by the face of Sarah Palin. The Garden State takes a goodly share of ribbing in "Who Will Save New Jersey?," which concludes with the line, "If the pollution doesn't get you the aroma will." -Robert L. Daniels, Variety

“The wittiest work comes from set designer Beowulf Boritt. A playgoer may assume when he enters the theater that the scenery will only consist of the piles of rusty barrels he sees on-stage. Happily, these units open up to show the library, Sarah's bedroom and the professor's lab -- but they're always surrounded by other barrels. Given that the script incessantly says that New Jersey is utterly polluted, Boritt keeps those barrels around to remind us.”  -Peter Filichia, The Star-Ledger
