"Jonathan Wentz has created a marvelous Irish pub set, complete with working draft beer. It's a warm, inviting environment for the characters on a windy, cold night. Wentz paid very careful attention to the details of his set. The photos on the wall are precisely as described in the script. The liquor bottles behind the bar are precisely what you would expect to see. The working tap delivers cold beer to the characters. It is, in fact, not a set as much as a real working Irish pub on the Theatreworks stage."

"As important to this production as the performances are, the set is so individual and beautifully wrought by designer Jonathan Wentz that is virtually a sixth member of the cast. Wentz crafts a timeless space, one that could've been Xeroxed from our collective idea of what an Irish pub should be. Without such verisimilitude of place, even the greatest acting could crash and burn."

"Scenic designer Jonathan Wentz has built a cozy rural Irish pub with mismatched chairs, a turf fire, and Guinness on tap. The floorboards of the stage come right up to the front row of seats; you feel like you could walk right up to the bar and order yourself a pint."
