"Scenic designer Robin Vest, who designed the Chicago production, has made the ballroom of the Rittenhouse Manor an immensely pleasing place. Sky-blue with white and gold accents and a stylized allusion to a crystal chandelier, it put me in the mood of old New Yorker covers and children’s books, such as Eloise, in its visual evocation of a Long Island mansion in the 1920s." -The Arts Fuse

 


 

 

Graceland

by Ellen Fairey

Lincoln Center Theater LCT3, 2010

directed by Henry Wishcamper

projections by Aaron Rhyne

lighting by Matt Richards

costumes by Anne Kinney

sound by Bart Fastbender

 

"Chicago looks swell in Robin Vest’s multipurpose set. That wraparound strip of green flooring (nicely set off by Aaron Rhyne’s bucolic video projections and soundman Bart Fasbender’s establishing bird twitter) represents Graceland, the picturesque cemetery where an old boozer who staggered home from his favorite bar one night and shot himself in the head has just been laid to rest." -Variety
