TheaterMania: "From a visual standpoint, you couldn’t ask for a better view. At the matinee performance I attended, dense fog blanketed the harbor, although freighters could still be seen gliding by in the distance through the performance space’s tall windows. Visible, too, was the actual long wharf that gave the theater its name. New Haven Harbor stands in for the docks of Red Hook, Brooklyn, where the action takes place, and scenic designer [You-Shin Chen] smartly extends the playing area to the balcony just outside the makeshift auditorium. Weathered crates and buoys represent the lives of the longshoremen who spend their days unloading cargo from ships, and a pay phone grounds us in an earlier era.“
Robert Schneider, Plays International & Europe: “[You-Shin Chen] supplies a deep-focus set whose strong diagonals vibrate in the odd-shaped room, providing an off-kilter analogy to Eddie Carbone’s mind.”
Sherry Shameer Cohen, Broadway World: “[You-Shin Chen]’s set design captures the simplicity and sparseness of the Carbone’s apartment, a law office, shown by a desk, and the street both adjacent to the living room and outside the building (literally), depending on the weather.”
