“David Gallo, hitherto known for his comic, contemporary sets, here dazzles equally with serious, historical ones.
Both the majestic columns and the convex, metal-link inner curtain work wonders.” –New York Magazine

“Mayer's design team from A View from the Bridge returns intact. David Gallo's set, in particular, impresses. As in the prior work, it focuses on a single forceful element -- here
an arc of enormous columns -- embellished only modestly
to make sense of each scene: a chair or two, a table or bed
and some tapestries, one of which becomes very important. A chain mail curtain concealing a secondary playing area also adds a bit of abstract authenticity.” –Curtain Up
