"Also incredibly impressive is the precision and polish with which the entire production is executed. The whole affair is dependent on timing and visual magic, and this is a well-oiled machine – to be expected from the second Broadway tour, but still. Kudos to the stage crew who manipulate Alexander Dodge’s thoroughly detailed set so deftly, transporting us to entirely different environments with every raising of that curtain, and to Aaron Rhyne’s fantastic projection design, which enhances every setting in ways we might not think achievable."
"The minimal set highlights the maximal contributions of Shipwrecked!’s designers (as well as stage manager Emily White, who calls a tight show). Lighting designer Nicole Jaja treats the white stage floor as a holodeck for shimmering colors, feverish textures and crisply delineated playing areas. But her most memorable look is also the most subtle. After reporters debunk de Rougemont’s “adventures,” he stands lonely on a bare stage, shoulders shrunk small — but Jaja lets his shadow loom, larger than life, on the curtains behind him."
