"That the entire production proves to be sheer pleasure from start to finish can be attributed in equal parts to the rousing performances and to the striking design of Jonathan Wentz’s spectacular all wood tiered unit setting: the steep central staircase buttressed on both sides by archways, balconies, wall coves with flaming torches and the remnants of a battered stone wall is quite spectacular...."
—Simon Saltzman, CurtainUp
"Jonathan Wentz’s wooden set has two levels linked by a central staircase in which different heraldic banners — and a bit of hanging taxidermy for the Boar’s Head tavern scenes — are switched to establish the story’s locations.
—Michael Sommers, The New York TImes
"Jonathan Wentz has designed an exceptionally evocative and sturdy wooden set across the back stage wall featuring a steep center stage stairway, a promenade high across the rear of the stage which serves as a landing for the staircase. The promenade is visually divided into sections by ornately carved arches.
—Bob Rendell, Talkin' Broadway
"Jonathan Wentz's Tudor-inspired set design - all exposed beams and wooden rafters with an impressive center staircase - looks like it was lifted from that fabled theater like a slice of pie."
—C.W. Walker, The Asbury Park Press
"Jonathan Wentz's Gothic-flavored set (with a grand stairway for dramatic entrances and exits) and Paul H. Canada's medieval costumes transport us to the early years of the 15th century; Matthew E. Adelson's lighting and Rich Dionne's sound complete the medieval tapestry."
