Best Scenic Design (David Korins)

“Sparks is a master of both comedy and gut-wrenching drama.”
--Time Out New York

“Brilliant…it will break your heart…as good as it gets.”
-Backstage

“Mandy Siegfried and Paul Sparks’ work is detailed, unselfconscious and totally praiseworthy.”
-The Village Voice

“Compelling…Rapp has coaxed nuanced performances out of his actors…continually engrossing…Rapp continues to prove that he’s a writer to watch out for and, with this production, demonstrates that he’s an up-and-coming stage director as well.”
-TheaterMania.com

"Mr. Rapp's design team matches the actors' brilliance. David Korins's flawlessly exact recreation of a Canal Street squat completely surrounds the audience -- forcing us so close that we can't look away."
-New York Sun
