“Yichen Zhou’s lighting is instrumental when worlds overlap...” —New York Times

“A spare, propulsive production enhanced by precise lighting and sound design.” —Variety

“Yichen Zhou's striking lighting design conveys the shifts in time, place, and imaginative leaps.” —Talkin Broadway

“Yichen Zhou’s lighting design reinforces the disorienting effect with blinking lights that suggest glitches in the matrix of the storytelling.” —Culture Sauce

“Disorienting lighting (by Yichen Zhou) and sound (by Jessie Char and Maxwell Neely-Cohen) contribute to the unstable onstage world that Novi and Breslin have created — an ever-shifting mirage that refuses to allow us to get comfortable.” —TheaterMania
