“Further, the show is performed on one of the most beautifully staged and integral sets to come along in this new century — a gorgeous glass array of doors, nine of them, mirrored yet clear, depending on how they are lit. …If it sounds like I'm gushing, I am. While this show would stand on the shoulders of this cast alone, this play is raised considerably by a stunning set. Comprising two separate stories and a vast array of the apothecary's tools, this set is to die for. Designed by Jayme Mellema and lit by Joshua Reaves, this performance space is truly a thing of beauty. Even if this show were not as fine as it is, I would recommend you see it, if only to see this spectacular setting.” -Alan R. Hall (CVNC.org)
“Jayme Mallema has created a magnificent set, which provides the walls for many locations, and yet has a unifying sense of repetition, with niches for laboratory apparatuses, chemicals, and a myriad of other scientific paraphernalia.” -Martha Keravuori & Check Galle (Triangle Arts and Entertainment)
