“(A brief, glowing aside: the lighting design is great! Shane Rowse does exceptional work here, coating the set in the stark blues and stretching purple shadows of a moonlit night. His look for the end of the play is just as striking: rosy morning light dips the Hogan’s dilapidated cottage in cold romance.)”
