NEW YORK REVIEWS

Broadway World
TheaterMania, Editor’s Pick.
StageBiz "[You-Shin Chen]’s scenic design manages to offer the actors a palette to define their self destruction, giving their untidy inner selves outward manifestation. It’s chaotic yet ordered, wildly vibrant and desperately morose -it reveals surprises.".
Theater Pizzazz "Parker asks for only the best Lighting Design from Sarah Johnston, and together with the Scenic Design by [You-Shin Chen], creates a type of theatrical magic that might only grow to be larger and more captivating in future productions."
Motherhood Later "[You-Shin Chen]’s stage set simply but evocatively renders the limbo land mess of our characters. A dusty desert backdrop with neon outlined cacti, foregrounded by a cluster of boxes, packed, half-packed, in transit. A lava lamp peeking out and blobbing silently as we waited beforehand in the semi-dark. A pile of magazines, a dollhouse, a pile of clutter halfway somewhere, inert, in-between places."
