Ryan McGettigan's set design, complemented by Herrick Goldman's lighting, should be lauded up front. Their creations bring the play to life and conjure a mystical palette with which Hanlon paints her players.

Ryan McGettigan’s set design was clever. The shelves, drawers and windows of the set were reminiscent of the wall from “Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In,” minus the colors. A couch would appear out of the wall for the McCarthy living room, a full-sized bed for Frank’s bedroom, another bed in Andrei’s boarding house room, a clerk’s window at city hall or a pier in the fog, all with a quick blackout. ... Credit for the set’s effectiveness should also go to Herrick Goldman’s light design and James Sugg’s sound design.
