"Set designer Frank Oliva delivers a pitch-perfect rendering of the fateful room, down to the mussed peach coverlets and dingy beige walls. The rooms main door opens onto the mod blue-green balcony railing that many will remember from photographs of the scene of King's death.
The set is at once a museum-exhibit and, with the arrival of Camae, a playground..."
- Erin Stoneking, Tompkins Weekly
"The Kitchen Theatre's current production is easily a three-alarm firm of theatre genius under the careful ministrations of director Nicole A. Watson, actors Landon G. Woodson and Angel Moore along with a top-notch design team.
...set designer Frank Oliva provides surprises that unanchor us in time...transformation rules this play..."
