Lief Smith's set design works like a charm with clever movable props. David White's sound design electrifies the action while Peter Petrino's lighting design spolights just what needs to be seen. The use of shadow in this production is execllent as is the work of videographer Brian McAward.

Littleway's direction is helped by Joseph J. Egan's set design, Anita Ellis's costumes and Peter Petrino's lighting all of which reached a level of sophistication of which this theater can be proud.

There is a minimum of scenery but the gorgeous view of the Long Island sound goes a long way to providing atmosphere, together with Peter Petrino's good lighting.

Peter Petrino's lighting scheme is as complex as ever been attempted at the Schoolhouse and is critical to the play's integrity.

Staging, even semi-staging can be tricky on the Venetian Theater's wide and pitless stage. Dan Puissegur's design, which placed the orchestra off to one side, left a large playing area defined by two gauzy hangings with just enough scenic suggestion to define various palace locales. Both Peter Petrino's lighting and Claudia Zahn's stage direction clarified the action, placing focus on the power and beauty of the score.

Designer Doug Lightbody's multi level platforms serve effectively as a variety of settings, and Peter Petrino uses fluid lighting to good purpose.

Tim Goodmanson's set, Peter Petrino's Lighting and Sydney Maresca's Costumes were all exquisite. Looking like a Maxfield Parrish painting, the production's dreamlike design, along with Jon Littig's superb sound design, added to the contrasting moods of both ibsen's play and Christie's interpetation of it.

The action takes place takes place in the Ravenscroft library, which has been devised by Beard and Jim West as an only half suggested set, heavy with shadows. The performers, who move in and out of the light as they join Ruffing for interogation, are bathed in Peter Petrino's sinister lighting plan.

The clever lighting design by Peter F. Petrino and the simple yet elegant set design by Sarah Lambert provide a polished frame.

The set is simplicity itself; a treatment bed and a carte are it's only props. But Scott Aronow's geometric panels and Peter F. Petrino's ever shifting lighting provide just the right atmosphere for charaters driven more by inner forces than physical space.
