“The actors playing Phil and Alice stand on the footboard of a vertical prop bed, but scenic designer Sean Fanning’s trompe l’oeil, bird’s-eye-view perspective makes it look like they’re lying flat, while we, hovering somewhere around the ceiling, look down on them.” -Margaret Gray, Los Angeles Times
“Set designer Sean Fanning’s bedroom is angled such that the audience appears to be floating over the bed eavesdropping; when Phil sets down a cuppa tea and it doesn’t fall over, the coup de théâtre actually got applause on opening night.” -Tony Frankel, Stage and Cinema
