Review excerpts:



"ANDREA BECHERT'S SCENIC DESIGN RULES. The three-story brick buildings, their lattice work of iron fire escapes, the shade-drawn, back-lit windows, the clothes-strewn lines far aloft” this set demands exciting and far- flung action." link to full article


"Andrea Bechert's set, a grimy landscape of dingy alleys, graffiti-tagged walls and sooty fire escapes, nails the atmosphere of Manhattan's West Side in the late '50s, the harsh patches of concrete where this ``Romeo and Juliet'' in the age of rumbling street gangs and Daddy-O takes its course."
