"Ryan McGettigan designed the set, which contained all sorts of spaces: small stages, intimate rooms and corridors. It felt more like an actual place than any kind of traditional set. Imagine a Smithsonian diorama come to life. The rustic wooden plank infrastructure took us back in time, while the actual complexity of the environment reminded me of the compartmental way memory actually works.
McGettigan’s dreamy places landed us in a field, tucked away in a tiny bedroom, gathered in the kitchen or roaming the in-between spaces. Props master Lauren Cascio dressed the set with an extraordinary attention to detail, from a copy of a check for $1.50, to a rusted roller skate, to a dusty set of dishes (I actually checked for the dust).
Audience members had a chance to acclimate to these surroundings before the piece actually started. We could rifle through papers strewn about, pick up a book or any object to examine it more closely. This very tactile experience invited our own senses into Guthrie’s world. What an embodied way to lead into the show." - Nancy Wozny, Arts & Culture Texas
