THE NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW
”When did you acquire this new set of ears? You’re watching a play you thought you knew better than you know your best friend, and yet suddenly it sounds different. It’s clearer, truer and more comprehensible than it’s ever been before, as if it had always been operating on a frequency that you’ve only now been given access to. Such experiences happen seldom to even the most devoted theatergoers. Which is why I’m still shivery, teary-eyed and stunned from seeing Richard Nelson’s devastatingly intimate production of Chekhov’s “Uncle Vanya,” which opened on Sunday night at the Frederick Loewe Theater at Hunter College….”

SAN DIEGO STORY REVIEW
"These effects are not casual but the result of a designer team distinguished enough for any part of the 21st Century American theatre: Jason Ardizzone-West for sets, Susan Hilferty and Mark Koss for costumes and Jennifer Tipton for lighting."
San Diego Story

LOS ANGELES TIMES REVIEW
"This Old Globe production, a reason to brave the long drive to San Diego, modernizes Chekhov's play without updating it. The period, treated with consistency of theatrical ton rather than precise historical markers, is more or less Russia at the turn of the 20th century. (The design, which includes Jason Ardizzone-West's sets, Susan Hilferty and Mark Koss' costumes and Jennifer Tipton's lighting, finds an ideal palette that is at once discreet and sharply defined.)"
