Scenic Design: Charlie Corcoran   Costumes: Carol Pelletier   Lighting: Victor En Yu Tan        2008

“The beautifully spare set by charlie corcoran is a deceptively peaceful backdrop for the rush of violence and human emotions that continually swirl across it. ”
Jennifer Farrar for The Associated Press

“Performed on a simple but striking set designed to look like a Buddhist temple”
Frank Scheck for NY Post

“We glimpse an eerie twilight world. A giant painted Buddha sits in a central temple, serene and remote. Above him, to the left, is a silver moon. To the right is a single tree branch, sinuously afloat in the void.”
“a taut production that is both visceral and dreamlike.”
Heather J. Violanti for NYTheatre.com

“Adding to the atmosphere are Charlie Corcoran's set design, a formidable Buddhist shrine; Carol A. Pelletier's rich-looking costumes; and Victor En Yu Tan's sinister lighting.”
Ron Cohen for Backstage

“The lighting design by Victor En Yu Tan helped to illustrate Charlie Corcoran’s Buddha-dominated set, with its multi-layered and cleverly pocketed spaces for the characters to inhabit.”
Dana Lang for off-off online
