“The action unfolds on a set rendered in spectacular detail by Sean Fanning, who brings vivid, gritty texture to his depiction of the distressed Hill District neighborhood, from drab tenement exteriors (and a jarringly cheery billboard that features Bing Crosby hawking cigarettes) to the rough soil at stage front.” -James Hebert, San Diego Union-Tribune
“Director Jennifer L. Nelson and a committed cast turned Sean Fanning’s excellent set — two buildings; one brownish red brick, the other dusty clapboard, dirt yard, tiny garden — into the site for the hopes, fears, and truths of seven people who, as Wilson says, “struggle to remain whole in the face of so many things that threaten to pull them asunder.” -Jeff Smith, San Diego Reader
