“Poems could be written about David Gallo’s moody and ingenious set for the apartment, a sparse collection of shifting furniture, the color of burnt roses, on a raised platform that breaks periodically into shards to alienate and to offer the illusion of privacy.” –Newsday

“David Gallo’s inspired mobile set keeps breaking apart into separate sections. Mr. Gallo’s highly burnished rendering
of urban squalor, with an apartment framed by looming trapezoidal windows behind which sits the orchestra, is
the evening’s most inventive contribution.”
–Ben Brantley The New York Times

“David Gallo has designed an open platform with jazzy floor patterns that can split into two to five unequal, jagged sections on which groups or individuals are suggestively stranded. In the zigzagging gaps between sections, processions of revellers can parade in hectic merriment. The platform is surrounded on three sides by facades of buildings ominously leaning toward center stage; a few sticks of furniture create, as the floor reconfigures itself, different constellations.” –John Simon  New York Magazine
