Scenic Design: Charlie Corcoran   Costumes: Martha Halle   Lights: Brian Nason        2007

“Charlie Corcoran's set echoes the unassuming authenticity of the perfs. Details like an old-fashioned milking machine or a black-and-white family photo suggest economic desperation might be fueling the larger political fervor.”
Variety.com

“It takes a bit for American ears to adjust to the thick Irish accents but not too long to catch on to the cracks in set designer Charles Corcoran's finely detailed, painterly recreation of a modest farmhouse kitchen which also flips around for several scenes in the farm's barn with its decidedly less than state of the art equipment.”
Curtainup.com

“An outside investigator (David Lansbury) turns up to ferret out the disloyal member, and the already insular world of the farm — perfectly rendered in Charles Corcoran’s versatile set — becomes even more inward-looking.”
