REVIEWS:
"Jonathan Wentz's set is a Tudor-style interior of massive solidity into which are incorporated no less than two farce-enabling staircases, while Nikki Delhomme's costumes, with their jumbo codpieces and burgeoning bustiers, leave the viewer in no doubt of what lies within." —THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
"Jonathan Wentz's set skillfully creates a vast-seeming house full of the necessary levels and doors, aided by a front entrance that rolls on and offstage to offer a different perspective." —THE STAR LEDGER
"Jonathan Wentz has designed a handsome Tudor mansion to provide a suitable arena for the merriment with lovely costumes by Nikki Delhomme. The result is theatrical alchemy, turning a shiny evening of comedy into real gold."
—THE DAILY RECORD
"Jon Wentz’s handsome set design reflects the Tudor style of a manor house of the 1600s, with double staircases, numerous doorways and hidden spaces. To handle action outside the front door, a portion of the set is simply pushed forward." —THE ALTERNATIVE PRESS
"Madcap is good way to describe the visits and the return visits of all those who venture into the Gothic styled living room and upper gallery beautifully designed by Jonathan Wentz with a section that moves forward to become the front of the house when the action moves occasionally outside. Characters are gagged, sent scurrying up and down staircases, in an out of rooms amid the kind of nutty mayhem we've seen in Marx Brothers comedies. There is even an explosion when an experiment goes awry." --CURTAIN UP!
