Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
Royale Theater
    Critics Quotes
    "An air of diffuseness is evident even in David Gallo's set, with its evocation of the buildings of Chicago beyond the two central playing areas of the recording studio and the rehearsal room. It's a handsome effect, but the broader city backdrop lessens the claustrophobic intensity of the confrontations among the characters, who are all, in different ways, trapped." Ben Brantley The New York Times

    "Set designer David Gallo has created another set that not only creates a workable playing area (the glassed off, high above the stage white men's office symbolizes the great divide between the bosses and the workers, the whites and the blacks) but the neighborhood outside. It's jaw-dropping and obviously expensive, but worth the investment since it enhances the play enormously." Curtain Up
