“Director Marcus Shields and scenic/lighting designer Frank J. Oliva seemed to have shared a concept for the production that relied heavily on visuals— though not projections or eye-popping sets. (There wasn’t a set or sets, but scenes with props.) They kept it spare, using light and a smoke machine to create atmosphere, rather than a place. The duo did an excellent job. These simple elements turned the stage into an amazing, ethereal space—a place where mysticism and otherworldliness resided. It invited the audience not necessarily into Weil’s mind, but their own.” - Chris Ruel, operawire
